Tutoring funded by the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts

Arizona’s ESA program provides approximately $7,000 per student per year, with higher amounts for students with special needs. Unlike most ESA programs, Arizona offers rolling enrollment — families can apply at any time during the year with no fixed deadline. Funds are distributed quarterly through ClassWallet and can roll over year to year if unused. There are no caps on how much of the ESA can go toward tutoring.
