Here’s something most Arizona parents don’t realize: there’s money sitting in a state account with your child’s name on it. And you might be one of the few who hasn’t claimed it yet.
Over 92,000 Arizona families have discovered a secret that’s changing how they think about education. It’s called the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)– and if you have a K-12 student in Arizona, you already qualify.
No special circumstances needed. No complicated eligibility requirements. Just your child’s birth certificate and proof you live in Arizona.

Here’s What’s Actually at Stake
The average family receives around $7,000 per student annually- deposited directly into a digital wallet you control. Students with disabilities? That number jumps to $25,000-$28,000 for specialized services.
Think about what $7,000 could unlock:
– Private school tuition that’s suddenly affordable
– One-on-one tutoring in subjects where your child struggles
– SAT prep courses you thought were out of reach
– Computer equipment for remote learning
– Educational therapies your insurance won’t cover
The Flexibility Might Surprise You
These aren’t restricted funds with endless red tape. Parents use ESA dollars for everything from gymnastics lessons to coding camps, art supplies to college entrance exams. You can even pay for individual classes at your local public school- like band or robotics, while homeschooling the rest.
The only requirement? Spending across five core subjects: reading, grammar, math, social studies, and science.
Why Families Are Making the Switch
“ESA funding gives you the freedom to choose what’s best for your child,” notes one program guide. It’s not about abandoning public education- it’s about customizing it. Some families use ESA to supplement public school. Others build entirely personalized curriculums. Many discover options they never knew existed.

The real question isn’t whether ESA works. It’s what your child could accomplish with an extra $7,000 in educational opportunities.
