Arizona School Choice Trust

Arizona School Choice Trust (ASCT) is a state-approved School Tuition Organization (STO) that exclusively serves low-income children through the administration of three state tax credit scholarship programs–the Individual Tuition Tax Credit Program, the Corporate Tuition Tax Credit Program, and Lexie’s Law for Disabled and Foster students. On May 11, 1993, with the help of friends and associates, ASCT was established. The initial program served Maricopa County residents whose household income qualified for the federal free and reduced-price school lunch program. ASCT was providing tuition scholarships for nearly five years prior to the passage of tax credit legislation in 1997.
