Tuition Tax Credit for Ava, Karsten & Camila Salcido!

Salcido-2-2024

Dear friends and family,

As you know, I (Ava) am heading to high school next year. Karsten and Camila are also changing schools.  We’re excited to pursue an education that nurtures growth in mind, body, and spirit while strengthening our faith. At Xavier College Prep (XCP) and Northwest Christian School (NCS), we continue to strive for excellence in academics and our passions for swimming, football, soccer, and cheer. Your support means so much and will help us reach this goal—thank you!

In search of ways to lower tuition fees our family has learned about the Arizona tuition tax credit program that allows taxpayer to choose how their state income tax dollars are used and get a dollar-for-dollar credit.  By contributing to STO4KIDZ, you’ll take the tax credit and we will receive a scholarship to lower our tuition . Unlike a charitable deduction, which lowers taxable income, a tax credit directly reduces your state tax liability, which results in a larger refund or less owed taxes when you file.

This will have a huge impact on our ability to attend these great schools! We would be so grateful if you consider redirecting a portion of your taxes to help lower our tuition.

Two Opportunities to Contribute and Make a Difference

Maximum tax credit allowed OR your actual tax liabilities, whichever is less.

2024 Tax Year


$2,910.00 - Filing Jointly/ Married
$1,459.00 - Filing Singly

2025 Tax Year


$3,062.00 - Filing Jointly/ Married

When you contribute to a school tuition organization like STO4KIDZ you can take the tax credit as long as you contribute by April 15 of each year, or the designated date set by IRS, even if you plan to file for an extension. You get 100% of it back as a credit; your Arizona tax liability is reduced dollar-for-dollar.

For your convenience here is a step-by-step guide, link to FAQ page and the Donor Form.

Please list Ava Salcido at "Xavier College Preparatory" and Karsten & Camila Salcido at "Northwest Christian School" on your contribution form.  STO4KIDZ will email you a receipt for your taxes with instruction on how to claim your dollar-for-dollar tax credit.

On the other hand, if you'd like to make a charitable donation to help lower our tuition, your donation is 100% tax-deductible as STO4KIDZ is also a 501(c)3, non-profit charitable organization.

There is also a short video at the end of this page which explains how the AZ tax credit works and call us or you can speak directly with the STO4KIDZ staff with any questions.

We appreciate you wholeheartedly!
