A FUNDING PATH YOU CHOOSE
Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program lets families redirect the education tax dollars that would have funded their child’s neighborhood school toward the education path they choose instead — private services, online courses, or education at home.
Funds can be spent on a range of educational expenses: tuition, textbooks, online courses, and services like those at Iron Courts.
To participate, families submit an application and meet eligibility requirements set by the Arizona Department of Education. Once approved, funds can be applied directly toward approved expenses — including training and recovery services here at Iron Courts.
