What Arizona pays

AZ

Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account Education savings account

About $7,000 to $8,000 for most students (2025-26 figures) We could not confirm the 2026-27 amount from the state. By law the deposit is 90% of the state funding the student would bring to a charter school. Students with disabilities receive far more.

Figures read from each program’s official pages, October 2, 2026. Sources and how to apply
