Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account Education savings account

Award: About $7,000 to $8,000 for most students (2025-26 figures)
How it varies: 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.
