Homeschool funding & ESAs in Arizona
Arizona offers an education savings account (ESA) that homeschooling families can use, plus the scholarships, grants, and tax-credit options below.
Arizona ESA program
Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)
~$7,500/yrUniversal eligibility — any Arizona K-12 student. No income requirement.
Runs through: ClassWallet
Official program & application →Arizona's $7,500 comes with quarterly homework. We do that part.
Arizona's universal ESA (~$7,500/student via ClassWallet) requires a quarterly expense report and receipt uploads, and the state is actively clawing back unallowable spending. The ESA Wallet checks each purchase against Arizona's approved-expense statutes before you buy and keeps a clean, audit-ready trail for every quarter.
- Eligibility checked against the actual A.R.S. citations, not guesswork
- Quarterly report assembled, not scrambled
- Audit-ready receipts if ADE asks
- Spend tracked per child against your award
Taking the AZ ESA makes your child a scholarship student, not a homeschooler — you withdraw the homeschool affidavit and take on quarterly reporting + clawback risk. The Wallet is how you stay clean.

Funding programs change often. About Time organizes receipts and checks likely eligibility — it does not file or submit on your behalf. Confirm amounts, eligibility, and deadlines with each program before you rely on them.
