Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA)
Arizona's ESA stands for Empowerment Scholarship Account, a state-funded education savings program that provides families with public dollars for customized K-12 learning options.
Program Overview
Education Savings Account (ESA) programs allow parents to use state per-pupil funding—typically $4,000–$10,000 annually depending on the state and grade—for private school tuition, homeschool curricula, tutoring, supplies, therapies, and other approved educational expenses. Eligibility varies by state: universal access for all K-12 students in places like Arizona and Florida, or targeted to low-income, special needs, or foster families in others like Indiana and Mississippi, often with higher amounts (up to $20,000+) for disabilities via IEPs or 504 plans.
Funding and Usage
Funds deposit into an online parent-managed account (e.g., ClassWallet in Arizona, varying platforms elsewhere) on a quarterly or monthly basis for pre-approved vendors; families must allocate spending to core subjects like math, reading, science, and language arts while forgoing full-time public school enrollment. Participation has surged nationwide, with over 500,000 students enrolled across states as of late 2025.
Application Process
Apply through each state's education department online portal (e.g., ADEConnect in Arizona, Step Up For Students in Florida); submit proof of eligibility, residency, and student records, then sign an educational plan contract for approval and automatic renewal if compliant. Track expenses via the program's handbook or dashboard to ensure accountability and avoid repayment demands
