CONTRIBUTING TO INSPIRE KIDS MONTESSORI SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Inspire Kids Montessori Scholarship Fund, a state-certified student tuition organization (STO), invites individuals, families, and community members to redirect their Arizona state taxes as a tax credit to support Kindergarteners in our Montessori program. Contributions made within the limits set by Arizona law can be deducted from state taxes, providing essential need-based tuition assistance at no additional cost to the donor.

Important Information

A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict, or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor 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.
