Programs funded by the Arizona State Tax Credit

The State of Arizona offers taxpayers a credit for contributions made to qualifying private school scholarship organizations.  This unique program allows our students several opportunities for financial assistance.  Please apply for all of the programs your family qualifies for. 

 Catholic Tuition Association (CTODP)

  • This is a program initiated by the State of Arizona tuition tax credit.  Available funds are awarded based on financial need. Please encourage family, friends and business associates to contribute to this fund as it only supports Catholic Schools.

  • The CTODP Scholarship Application must be made annually and must be postmarked by the deadline date.  Please refer to the beginning of this information sheet for further details.

 Catholic Education Fund

  • Donors to this fund can recommend that their Arizona State tax credit dollars be applied toward your student. Many Bourgade Catholic families find donors through family members, business associates and friends. 100% of the tuition cost is eligible for this scholarship.  92% of the donation is forwarded to Bourgade Catholic in the student’s name to be applied to tuition cost. 8% is retained by the fund to cover administrative costs. A parent cannot contribute for the benefit of their own child. Each student must be registered with the fund through an application process. Contributions may be carried forward to future school years. Distributions are made monthly.

  • Application and information is available at www.CatholicEducationFund.org.

  •  Phone 602-595-2349. We also have copies here at Bourgade.

    Arizona School Choice Trust

    • Available funds are awarded based on financial need. Preference is given for students transferring from Public Schools or Home Schooling. The scholarship is renewable annually until graduation but reapplication is required each year. Awards are given based on income guidelines. Applications can be downloaded at www.asct.org or phone (602)454-1360 for more information. We also have copies here at Bourgade. The application requires the school to complete the 2009-2010 School Commitment Form. Please bring the form to the Finance office for completion. Families need to include this form with their application. Do not mail it separately! Application deadline is May 30, 2009.
