What Is the Arizona ESA Program?

Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program gives families access to public education funding that can be used for a wide range of learning expenses. Instead of sending funds directly to a school, the state deposits money into a parent-controlled account, letting you choose how to educate your child.

ESA funds can be used for curriculum, online learning platforms, homeschooling materials, tutoring, and much more. For families who homeschool or supplement their child's education, this opens up real options for finding resources that work.

This guide walks you through exactly how Arizona ESA funds work, what they can be spent on, and how to find curriculum that qualifies — so you can make confident, informed decisions for your child's learning.
