Arizona

Our funders are companies and individuals who care about their community and desire the opportunity to create a brighter future for all of our children. 

We invite you to partner with AAA Scholarship Foundation to fund k-12 education scholarships for Arizona students living in low-income households at NO COST to your company.

You will rest easy knowing that AAA has been a state approved Arizona Scholarship Granting Organization since 2012 and holds the highest level of approval from Candid.

Through the Arizona Corporate Tax Credit Scholarship Program, your company can redirect up to 100 percent of its state corporate and/or insurance premium tax liability to AAA so that we can fund k-12th grade scholarships for children to attend the school that best meets their educational needs – and your company will get a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.

How does it work?

1. Apply: We will provide you with a short tax credit application to complete and return. We will then submit it on your behalf to the AZ DOR.
2. Approve: The AZ DOR will process your request and send the approval letter to us. We will send you a copy along with an invoice containing our remittance information.
3. Earn: Your company will have 20 days to remit payment to AAA in order to earn your approved tax credits.
4. Claim: Claim your earned tax credits on your next Arizona income or insurance premium tax return. Note that this program has a 5-year credit carry-forward provision for earned but unused tax credits.

When can I apply?

We are currently accepting tax credit applications for the 2025-2026 state fiscal year. Each annual Arizona tax credit application season (the “cap year”) opens on the first business day of July. The cap year will end when all of the credits are claimed, or the following June 30th, whichever occurs first. Please contact our office for a tax credit application.

How much is available?

For the 2025-26 cap year, $135,000,000 in credits to fund low-income scholarships and $6,000,000 in credits to fund disabled-displaced scholarships became available on 7/1/2025. As of 1/9/2026, the Arizona DOR reports that $31 million in credits for low-income students remain available. Please contact our office today to reserve your 2026 tax credits!
