What does ASCT mean in SCHOOLS

Arizona School Choice Trust (ASCT) is a nonprofit organization designed to provide students in Arizona with more options for their education. ASCT offers scholarships to help low-income families afford tuition at private schools. ASCT also helps connect students and families with the school of their choice, providing them with the resources they need to make an informed decision about their education.

Scholarship applications can be found on the ASCT website. Applications must include information such as student academic records, family income, information regarding special needs, and a reference letter from an adult in the student’s life. After submitting an application, it will be reviewed by the ASCT board of directors who will determine if the student is eligible for a scholarship.

To be eligible for an ASCT scholarship, applicants must meet certain criteria including Arizona residency, have financial need, be accepted into a qualifying independent school and demonstrate academic potential or perform at or above grade level standards. Additionally, students must have attended public school during the previous semester and cannot have previously received a private school-funded scholarship award.
