What Arizona pays, and what that leaves you

AZ
Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account Education savings account
About $7,000 to $8,000 for most students (2025-26 figures) We could not confirm the 2026-27 amount from the state. The formula is 90% of state per-pupil funding. Students with disabilities receive far more.

Figures read from each program’s official pages, 2026-09-20. Sources and how to apply

What would you pay?

We could not confirm this year’s ESA amount, so type in the figure from your award letter. An award can never be more than the school actually charges. This is arithmetic, not a quote.

Questions parents ask

How many private schools are there near Fountain Hills?

We count 29 within 12 miles of downtown Fountain Hills. Together they enrolled about 3,834 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Notre Dame Preparatory with 975 students.

Which Fountain Hills private schools take ESA?

Arizona does not register participating schools. Any qualified private school can be paid from an ESA, so ask the school whether it accepts ESA payments.

Will ESA cover the whole tuition bill?

Sometimes, but do not count on it. ESA pays about $7,000 to $8,000 for most students (2025-26 figures), and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
