Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account
Arizona's ESA program lets you direct state education funding toward the school that fits your child. Our enrollment is simple, secure, and designed for your phone.
What is an ESA?
An Empowerment Scholarship Account gives families the freedom to choose the learning environment where their child will thrive.
The state deposits ESA funds into an account your family uses for approved education expenses, including tuition at a qualifying school.
Since 2022, every Arizona student eligible to attend public school in kindergarten through 12th grade can apply.
The Arizona Department of Education runs the program and sets its rules. We help you gather everything required.
How enrollment works
Start with the basics and finish whenever you are ready. Every step saves automatically, and your secure resume link works on any device.
Your name, email, and phone. About two minutes, and it saves your spot.
Name and birthday for each child you are enrolling.
Your physical Arizona home address. No PO boxes.
Birth certificate and proof of residency, right from your camera.
Double-check everything and sign electronically.
What you'll need
Arizona requires a full-color copy of each student's birth certificate and proof that your family lives in Arizona. You can take the photos right inside the enrollment form.
Document 1
One for each student. Take a full-color photo of the entire certificate with all four corners showing.
Document 2
Your document must show your name and the same physical address you enter on the form. Choose the one that fits your situation:
Most families
Electric, water, gas, trash or sewer, landline phone, internet, or cable bill in the parent’s name, issued within the last 60 days. Photograph the entire bill, every page, all four corners. The payment stub alone or an envelope window is not accepted.
Rural address or PO Box
If you receive mail at a PO Box or live at a rural address, ask your local fire or police department for a physical address verification letter. It must be issued within the last 60 days.
Reservation address
If you live on a Native American reservation, upload a physical address verification letter from your tribal agency or Chapter House, issued within the last 60 days.
Address Confidentiality Program
If you participate in Arizona’s Address Confidentiality Program, take a photo of your ACP card and use the substitute address shown on it.
No PO boxes or business addresses. Arizona requires the physical address where your family lives. If you only receive mail at a PO Box, you'll need a fire or police department verification letter.
Photo tips
Clear photos mean faster approval. Lay each page flat on a table and follow these tips.
