Invest in Arizona's future today!
By donating to Academic Opportunity of Arizona this
#GivingTuesday,
Your contributions will provide educational funding both inside and outside the classroom for students in need.
A lack of educational funding and support for children living with disabilities and poverty is a reality in Arizona. Academic Opportunity of Arizona (AOA) provides educational funding for those children and families. We're committed to long-term sustainable support while focusing on immediate impact.
Students, such as Jorge, will be the first in his family to graduate from high school because of dedicated supporters such as YOU!
The AOA difference is that we focus on the whole child. Instead of offering more students smaller, partial scholarships, we provide multi-year, full-tuition scholarships for more than 60 private schools statewide benefiting hundreds of students.
AOA is a state-approved school tuition organization that serves eligible low-income, disabled or displaced youth (Arizona students in the foster care system) through the Arizona Private School Tax Credit program, which allows companies and individuals to redirect up to 100% of their tax liability to directly support K-12 education.
We believe every child, regardless of disability, displacement or financial standing, should be able to pursue a comprehensive education that best aligns with their needs and abilities, allowing them to thrive. For some students, that means learning in a private school environment. Donors to AOA make all the difference and help establish a foundation for students - like Jose - to firmly and confidently excel in learning, achieve goals and follow their dreams.
Join the many donors who trust and recommend Academic Opportunity of Arizona to provide the most comprehensive full-tuition scholarships to deserving students.

What Your Gift Will Accomplish
With your support, more Arizona students living with disabilities, facing financial hardships or that are in foster care will have the opportunity to close the achievement gap. Through generous donations, together we can empower the next generation of leaders and build a better tomorrow.
Donations today and everyday make a huge impact.
Did you know?
A $300 investment will provide enriching STEM programs, such as Science on Wheels, to schools that AOA supports. Over 90% of every dollar donated is allocated directly towards our students in need. Receive a tax credit for every dollar donated *up to $2,435 if filing jointly or $1,221 for single filers. Academic Opportunity of Arizona serves more than 60 schools in the state since 2015. Many families, that have children with special needs, cannot afford to send their child to an appropriate school that best aligns with their child's learning and developmental needs. In 2021, Academic Opportunity of Arizona helped more than 200 low-income and/or disabled students!
