Donate & Support: Scholarships for Students Private School Donations In 2013, you may donate up to $517 (single taxpayer) or $1,034 (married filing jointly) of your tax liability in the form of scholarships. These scholarships can be used by qualified students attending the school(s) you recommend - you can even request that a specific student receive a scholarship. Put simply, your donation is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit that decreases the amount of actual state taxes owed, and doesn't cost you anything! These donations allow Arizona students, many whose families would not otherwise be able to afford a private education, to attend the school of their choice. Grand Canyon University partners with a number of these schools through the Canyon Christian Schools Consortium (CCSC) and the Canyon Educational Partnership (CEP). |
How Do I Donate? 1. Payroll Reduction - Your donation comes from a reduction in your state tax withholdings each pay period. GCU directly submits the donation from your withholdings to School Choice Arizona on your behalf. Simply fill out the enclosed state tax withholding pledge form indicating how much you would like to contribute each pay period. Email the completed form to donate@gcu.edu. This will not affect your take-home pay. 2. Donate Online - Visit schoolchoicearizona.org to donate via credit card. 3. Donate by Check - Mail your check with the enclosed donor card directly to SCA. 4. Provide your donation information on the form below. Notice: A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict, or reserve scholarships only on the basis of a donor's recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent. Any designation of your own dependent as a potential recipient is prohibited. A.R.S. 43-1603(C). |

Under state law, you may receive a tax credit - a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of actual taxes owed - for up to $400 (married couples filing jointly) or $200 (individuals) when you donate to extracurricular activities at public schools (donations go directly to the school and program you choose). Extracurricular activities are defined as school-sponsored activities that require enrolled students to pay a fee. Grand Canyon University (GCU) partners with many public school districts and public charter schools in Arizona through Partners in Learning, Leading & Serving (PLLS) and the Canyon Educational Partnership (CEP). |
