Educating the youth is an essential part of our donations. Donating with Az4education while receiving a tax credit…makes them our first choice.

Our company ‘United Processing Association’ has donated to AZ4Educaiton and received a state tax credit and federal deduction saving us money and helping education. This is an amazing program. Working with Az4Education was very easy and seamless! We are making a difference in education at no net cost to our business. We will defiantly donate again this year.

I am a single Father raising a daughter. I lost my job in 2009 and was unemployed for a year. And when I did find work it was for companies that wanted me to travel. I took a job that paid significantly less. Az4Education gave me the means to continue to provide the best education possible for her. Sending her to Seton Catholic would not have been possible with out there help. She has had a great experience there and it was worth every penny. I feel that she is more than ready for college and the world ahead of her.Without the help from Brian and the gang at Az4education none of this would have been possible.

Az4education is a great organization. They went out of there way to help us and make this happen it has been wonderful to work with them. Thank You so much for your help.

The assistance we receive from AZ4Education is essential in optimizing our ability to choose the school we feel is best for our children. It has always been a priority for us to have our children attend Catholic school. Without this assistance, we would not be able to make this choice. We greatly appreciate the support!

Without scholarships from AZ4Education, our kids would not be able to attend OLMC.  Financial assistance helps my kids obtain a faith based higher education and we are grateful.

One of the greatest opportunities we have is the ability to choose where our kids are educated. It is a huge blessing to have the support of others in the community to help with the costs of education.

AZ4Education has been a blessing to our family. The scholarships that have been provided through this program have been a great help in allowing us to send our children to Gilbert Christian, which is a school that we love and support. Brian has been amazing. The process is so simple and it is such a great feeling knowing that others are supporting us in our decision to pursue private Christian education for our children.

Last summer I was greatly assisted in applying for a scholarship at AZ 4 Education and later was awarded a much needed scholarship by you and the scholarship committee. I would like to express my profound gratitude to you and the committee for the friendly help I received in applying and the generous scholarship I received. I was able to enjoy my junior year as a transfer student at Xavier College Preparatory and what an enjoyable year it was. I would like thank you for helping me to attend this costly private school – I had a wonderful year of challenging coursework and new friendships. As the new school year approaches, I am looking forward to what it brings in my final year of high school. I am excited to begin the college search, embrace a new year of rigorous studies, and see friends. Unfortunately my school has raised its tuition for this year and again I humbly ask for your generosity in awarding me a scholarship. I understand it may be late to apply for the fall scholarship, but I will certainly be applying for the spring scholarship if that is the case. I sincerely thank you, Mr. Goodman, and the scholarship committee for kindly awarding me a scholarship and I hope you have been having a wonderful summer.

Thank you,

Thank you very much for informing us of this and for giving us the opportunity to apply.  It is organizations like AZ4Education that help make differences in the lives of parents looking to get a better education for their children and in the lives of children working towards a successful future. Please contact us if you have any questions. Sincerely

Wonderful News! Thank you so very much… with out the help of AZ4 Education, our girls would not be able to attend these wonderful schools! Thanks again !

I asked my son to share his thoughts on how his Christian school has influenced him. Here is his response. “I have been at GCS since second grade and have loved every year of it. During my years at Gilbert Christian made many friends at GCS. My parents have been supporting me all the way. All of my teachers have influenced me in some way and they all have made me a better person. Being at Gilbert Christian has really made me stronger in my walk with God.”

Due to unexpected change and circumstances, I am a full time single mom of two amazing teens. Financially, I am unable to provide for the education that they have received from private school. The gift and blessing we have received from Az4Education has been overwhelming and it would not be possible for my kids to attend if it wasn’t for the help. The impact the donor has is beyond what you can imagine for a child that receives the gift and help to attend private school. I am extremely grateful to Az4Education for the help and blessing to send my kids to an amazing school. I drop them off every day…grateful, knowing they are receiving strong academics, building upon quality characteristics and gaining tools for their future from people who truly invest their time and care for the kids. All this is possible because of Az4Education…thank you!

Tuition scholarships have made the difference between sending our child to a mediocre school or a great school of our choice. We work to put food on the table and provide a home for our family with the end that there is no wiggle room for tuition. We cannot thank you enough or stress enough the direct change you are making in our child’s life.

AZ4Education makes applying for tuition scholarships almost effortless through its streamlined scholarship forms online.

My son has had the pleasure of being able to go to the school that he loves for the past 6 years now. This is all due to this program. With out the help of your kind donations and thoughtfulness this would not be possible. My son is very grateful. He states “THANK GOD For AZ4Education; they help you “mom” so that I cam go to OLMC with my friends!”.  I am forever grateful for all of you that make this possible for me. Thank you!

We are so grateful to AZ4Education because it has made it possible for us to afford the Catholic School education that we feel is so important for our children. We drive 40 minutes each way to get them to and from school each day because we believe that this school provides the rigorous education, exceptional teachers and staff , loving community and safe environment that reinforces our Catholic faith on a daily basis for them. We have and have had many extra expenses (weekly occupational therapy for one child, weekly speech therapy for two, caring for an elderly father, etc.) that make coming up with tuition challenging. We thank you!

We would not have been able to afford the Catholic based education that we were able to provide our Son without the tuition scholarships we were fortunate to have received over the past 4 years. I honestly believe that those who made contributions took some pride in knowing that they were able to help out our family and have some control over how their tax dollars were being used.

Tuition scholarships have greatly helped our family provide the private school education we had dreamed of giving them. We would not be able to make this happen for our children otherwise and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to choose what school we take our children to everyday.

We appreciate that Az4Education has made a private school education available to our children. Anytime we have had questions on how it all works, Brian has been very helpful and informative. My kids love their school community and we are truly grateful for Az4Education in making a private school education possible for us!

“I love Seton and could not imagine going anywhere else.  Seton challenges me academically and spiritually. I love Seton.” These words would not have been possible without AZ4Education. The tuition scholarships we have received is what made Seton possible for my daughter. Without the assistance there is no way that my wife and I could afford to send her there. I am truly grateful to AZ4Education for Blessing my family and helping send our daughter to an amazing school. You guys are an inspiration!

[…] AZ4Education created an opportunity for my daughter. She has developed into an amazing, young lady full of compassion and kindness. Seton has encouraged her to be a Blessing and service to others. Without your generosity this would not have been possible.

Thank you for all your assistance throughout the year, it is overwhelming gracious and appreciated! I wanted to wish you, your family, board, and volunteers a very Happy New Year. I also wanted to reassure you that our commitment to support the great work you all do has continued again this year. We have continued to support and encourage other families to use AZ4Ed as their STO. Over the years I have learned that word of mouth is the best marketing tool (especially among friends and family). The wonderful experiences we have had with AZ4Ed has been nothing short of a blessing.  […]  I sincerely appreciate the fact that this great state allows parents like us to support “School of Choice” as we choose to send our children to a Catholic school. […]  This credit, allows us to have an increased quality of life through their educational cost savings.

God Bless and the Happiest of New Years to you and yours!

Much appreciation,

Over the years, the benefit that AZ4Education has provided to our children’s education has been outstanding. Our children attend Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Tempe. This is so important for our family that they attend this school. Not only is this the school that I attended as a child but the classic education that they provide is what we are interested in. The scholarships that have been awarded over the years through AZ4Education have made this possible.

I met Brian Sanders several years ago at an informational session at our children’s school, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Prior to the meeting I was somewhat familiar with tax credits and the great benefit that local STOs are providing to families to assist in educational expenses. I was so impressed with AZ4Education that we chose them to be our primary STO. We have been so pleased with their responsiveness, professionalism and guidance over the years. Our experience has been that Brian and his team are as committed to educational assistance as we are. That’s a very comforting feeling knowing that we plan on using AZ4Education for many years to come.
