So, you used ESA for the 2025-26 school year—but do you have a plan for 2026-27? This email might help.
First, Relax!
You don’t need to decide right now. There’s plenty of time. Below are some scenarios to help you with your
decision-making process.
Scenario 1: Your tuition is approximately the same as your ESA scholarship amount.
Sticking with ESA might make sense. But don’t stop there! Now is the perfect time to secure tax credit donations. We can hold those funds for you to use in future years.
Scenario 2: Your tuition is higher than your ESA amount.
From now until April 15, ask people to redirect their AZ state tax liability to support your child. Then, after April 15, you can decide depending on how many donations you
receive:
- If you’ve received more in donations than your ESA amount, skip ESA and use your tax credit funds.
- If you’ve received less, sign up for ESA, and we’ll hold your donations for a
future year.
Scenario 3: Your child is eligible for Low Income Corporate scholarships.
If you are low income corporate eligible, don’t apply for ESA. You will get more funding applying for low income corporate scholarships from Arizona Tuition Connection and other STO’s.
But don’t stop there! You should also be asking individuals to donate and we can hold those funds for future use.
We’re here to help! Let us know if you have any questions.
