How the funding fits
$7,105–$10,540
Every Arizona K-12 student can open an Empowerment Scholarship Account. For the grades St. Timothy Catholic School serves, ADE's latest chart gives $4,718–$6,205 (K) and $7,105–$10,540 (grades 1-12); that chart is labeled 2025-26 (ADE estimate; the 2026-27 chart isn't posted yet), and the exact figure depends on grade and the funding formula for the school the child would otherwise attend. The account can pay tuition at a qualified private school that is set up as a ClassWallet vendor. The state keeps no list of schools that take ESA payments, so ask St. Timothy Catholic School directly.
Takes STO scholarships from: APESF, APSTO, Catholic Education Arizona, IBE, School Choice Arizona (per each STO's published school list, Oct 2026). Each STO decides its own awards, so apply to every one on this list that fits; appearing on a list is not a promise of money. Remember that a child on an ESA contract cannot take an STO scholarship that same year, so this is a choice, not an extra.
Catholic schools in the Valley set tuition parish by parish, and most charge a lower rate to registered, active parishioners, so ask for both figures.
St. Timothy Catholic School is on the Diocese of Phoenix list of Catholic schools. The diocese's own STO is Catholic Education Arizona; the STO line above shows whether this school is on its list.
