INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR DONATIONS TO
PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION ORGANIZATIONS:
REPORTING FOR 2008
Arizona’s individual income tax credit for contributions to school tuition
organizations, referred to as the private school tax credit, is governed by A.R.S.
§43-1089. School tuition organizations (STOs) must report the following
information to the Arizona Department of Revenue by February 28:
1.
2.
3.
4.

The name, address and contact name of the STO.
The number of contributions received in the previous calendar year.
The dollar amount of contributions received in the previous calendar year.
The number of children 1 awarded scholarships or grants during the
previous calendar year.
5. The dollar amount of scholarships and grants awarded during the
previous calendar year.
6. The name and address of each qualified school2 receiving the scholarships
or grant money, along with the number and dollar amount of scholarships
or grants provided to each school.

The Arizona Department of Revenue is aware of 55 STOs operating in Arizona
in 2008, the same number as in 2007. (One new STO formed in 2008,
Children’s Scholarship Network of Arizona, and one STO disbanded,
Engelhardt/Pappas Foundation.) The number and amount of donations are set
out in the following table. For calendar year 2008, $55.3 million has been
reported by 55 STOs, a 1.8% increase over the donations reported for 2007.
Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization is the largest school tuition
organization in terms of number and amount of donations received. Arizona
Christian School Tuition Organization reported $11.6 million in donations,
20.9% of the total. The Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix
reported $9.8 million in donations, 17.7% of the total reported. These two
organizations received nearly 39% of the total donations. Of the 55 STOs
reporting for 2008, 30 saw a decline in donations from 2007. To review the
donations reported by each STO, see Appendix I at the end of this report.

The Department of Revenue has determined that “children” as identified in this statute would
generally be 18 years or younger.
2
Qualified school is defined in statute as a “nongovernmental primary school or secondary
school or a preschool for handicapped students that is located in this state, that does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color, handicap, familial status or national origin …” The
Department of Revenue has further clarified this by saying that these primary and secondary
schools must educate children in a course of study that leads to promotion to the next class or
to graduation.

Of the 54 STOs that actually paid scholarships in 2008 (one newly formed STO,
Children’s Scholarship Network of Arizona, paid no scholarships), 31 increased
their average scholarship amount from the prior year.
One STO paid
scholarships for the first time, so its average scholarship amount neither
increased nor decreased.
STOs provided scholarships and grants to 373 private schools throughout
Arizona. There were 20 private schools that received scholarship money in
2007 year that did not receive any scholarship money in 2008.
Arizona Scholarship Fund provided scholarships and grants to 133 schools,
more schools than any other STO. Appendix III, at the end of this report, lists
the number of schools to which each STO provided scholarships and how many
more or less schools received scholarships from the STO in the prior year. For
example, Arizona Adventist Scholarships provided scholarships to 16 schools in
2008, which is the same as last year. That information is aggregated in the
following table.

The smallest average scholarship paid by an STO to one private school was
$67.50 paid by the Arizona Scholarship Fund to Calvary Christian Academy.
Five private schools received average scholarships from STOs for more than
$10,000. The highest average scholarship paid by an STO to one private
school was $17,083 paid by Arizona Scholarship Fund to Desert Voices Oral
Learning Center.
Seven private schools received more than $1 million total from all STOs. The
most scholarship/grant money received by one private school from all STOs
was $1,665,318 for 1,074 scholarships ($1,551 average) to Northwest
Christian School in Phoenix. Appendix IV lists the 359 private schools that
received scholarship/grant money, the number of scholarships, the amount and
the average scholarship. This table also shows the percent change in amount
of scholarship money received and the percent change in the average
scholarship paid if the school also received scholarship money in 2007. (The
total number of scholarships shown on Appendix IV totals 28,386, 65 more
than the number of scholarships shown on the table on page 3. Two STOs

reported that 65 students received scholarships to 2 schools, meaning they
switched schools at some point in the calendar year.)
The following table presents the distribution of average scholarships. For
example, the average scholarship received by seven private schools was
between $1 and $250. The average scholarship received by 15 private schools
was between $251 and $500.

In terms of where the scholarship/grant money went within Arizona, the most
money went to schools within the city of Phoenix.
Almost 32% of the
scholarships went to 80 private schools in Phoenix and about 36% of the
money. As would be expected, 63% of all scholarships granted went to schools
in Maricopa County and 66% of the money, nearly the same percentages as in
2007. The following table shows the number of scholarships the amount of
scholarships and the average scholarship paid out by county.
