Use Arizona Tax Credits to Support Catholic Education at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Turn Your Arizona State Taxes into Tuition Support for OLPH Students

Arizona allows individuals and businesses to redirect a portion of their state income taxes to support tuition scholarships for students attending Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School through certified Student Tuition Organizations (STOs).

Donors may contribute through Catholic Education Arizona (CEA) to support OLPH families school-wide. Other approved STOs also serve OLPH students and, depending on the organization, may allow donors to recommend a specific school or student when permitted by Arizona law and the STO’s guidelines. Donors may not recommend their own dependents or participate in reciprocal donation arrangements.

STO contributions are tax credits, not deductions, reducing Arizona state tax liability dollar for dollar, up to the amount allowed by law. Because eligibility, recommendation options, and deadlines vary by STO, donors are encouraged to review each organization’s website for the most current information.

Student Tuition Organizations (STO’s): Helping OLPH Students, and School

Understanding STO Contributions for OLPH Students

Arizona’s School Tuition Organization (STO) tax credit program allows OLPH families, grandparents, parishioners, alumni, and friends to redirect a portion of their Arizona state income taxes to help fund tuition scholarships for students attending Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School.

By contributing through a certified STO, donors can take an active role in supporting Catholic education. Many STOs allow donors to recommend OLPH as the beneficiary school, and some also allow donors to recommend a specific student, when permitted by the organization.

Scholarship availability, award criteria, and application timelines vary by STO. We encourage donors and families to visit each organization’s website for the most current information and to determine which program best fits their goals.

How Student Recommendations Work (Important)

All scholarship awards are made solely by the STO in accordance with Arizona law and the organization’s internal guidelines. Student recommendations do not guarantee a scholarship award. Donors may not recommend their own dependents and may not participate in reciprocal donation arrangements.

Each STO sets its own policies regarding recommendations, eligibility, and award decisions. OLPH does not control or influence scholarship determinations.
