Who may qualify?
CTGO offers Original, PLUS/Switcher and corporate low-income scholarships for eligible Arizona students in kindergarten through grade 12. Preschool is not included. Scholarship rules depend on the funding program. Applying does not guarantee an award.
- Original: A.R.S. 43-1603 requires consideration of financial need but does not impose a universal household-income ceiling. Students cannot simultaneously attend a district or charter school and a qualified private school.
- PLUS / Switcher: additional student-status rules apply. Routes include qualifying public-school transfer, kindergarten, certain military dependents, prior homeschooling, moving from another state, leaving ESA, and qualifying previous scholarships. Some foster-care circumstances have additional conditions.
- Corporate low-income: both an income test and an eligible student-status route apply. The income ceiling is 185% of the reduced-price-lunch income limit, rather than 185% of the federal poverty level. Household size and the applicable annual schedule matter.
CTGO does not currently offer disabled/displaced scholarships. Contact CTGO if you need help understanding which eligibility requirements apply to your student. Sources: A.R.S. 43-1603 and 43-1504.

The process from TADS processing your application through CTGO’s review and response to your family takes approximately three weeks. This is an estimate, not a guarantee, and is not measured from your initial submission. CTGO communicates the decision to your family by email.
March 15 is the application deadline for the upcoming school year. CTGO works with families on late or incomplete applications; contact CTGO about your situation. This does not guarantee an extension. Any TADS applicant fee is separate from optional donor processing fees; review the amount shown by TADS.
