Arizona tax credit scholarships
Support a child at no cost to you
Arizona's private tuition tax credit lets you redirect all — or part — of your state tax obligation to the Inspire Kids Montessori STO. Every dollar you give comes back to you as a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona taxes, while funding tuition aid for children in our Kindergarten program.
State-certified STO
No cost to donors
Supports our Kindergartners
How it helps
How our Scholarship Fund can help you
Nearly all of our Kindergartners attend IKM with their entire tuition covered through the scholarship fund.
You take control of your state tax dollars by redirecting them to a student or Student Tuition Organization of your choice.
It costs you nothing extra — contributions are redirected from taxes you already owe.

$1,535 for the 2025 tax year
Married Filing Jointly
$3,131

Important information
A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict, or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent.
