Tuition Assistance

Scholarships/ESA

At St. Ambrose Catholic School, we believe every family should have the opportunity to choose a Catholic education rooted in Faith, Love, and Hope.

We are committed to helping families explore tuition assistance opportunities that make a Catholic education more accessible.

Families may apply for tuition assistance through the School Tuition Organization (STO) scholarship programs or the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program, subject to each program's eligibility requirements and guidelines.

These opportunities are available to families regardless of household income, although individual scholarship programs may have their own requirements. Families are encouraged to explore the available options and determine which programs best meet their needs.

School Tuition Organizations (STOs)

School Tuition Organizations provide scholarship assistance to eligible St. Ambrose students through Arizona's tuition tax credit programs.

Families may apply to multiple STOs. Scholarship awards and eligibility requirements vary by organization. Families receiving ESA funds should also explore STO opportunities and review current program rules regarding participation and funding.
