ESA-FAQs

ESA News The ESA Program was just approved by the AZ Secretary of State on 9/30/22.

Q. When do apply?
A. Apply now, no matter what your status is. For first semester, you MUST apply by Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023.

Q: Will I be able to accept STO money with ESA?
A: Unfortunately no, you will need to decide which route will provide you the most benefit, contact Benny Mazariegos in the finance office to learn more. If you are receiving STO’s still apply as it is good for the government to have an application on file, we can decline funds though ESA if you prefer the STO route and vice versa. ESA does NOT stack with STO funds. Parents need to figure out which is more financially beneficial. (Will be on a case-by-case basis)

Q. How much can I expect to receive from my ESA award?
A. The average award is about $6,500 per student, but that can vary.
