Simply put, the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship is a state-funded program that allows parents to choose the best educational opportunities for their children. The best part about this state-funded scholarship is that parents are not bound to use it for public or private schools but can also use it to enrol their children in therapy services, homeschooling, extracurricular activities, etc. 

In Arizona, many parents use this scholarship scheme to enhance their child’s swimming skills with Saguaro Aquatics. We offer ESA-approved lessons to support homeschooling or disabled children. 

In this blog, we will discuss the primary benefits of this scholarship program and everything you must know about it. Keep reading to learn more!
