At Catholic Education Arizona (CEA), we find our purpose mission, or value in the families we serve, the students we support, and the positive change we make in the world. When you direct your AZ tax liability to CEA  for a dollar-for-dollar Arizona tax credit, you are helping families that desire a quality education for their children become a reality. Here is how our mission and your contributions can make a lasting impact on our communities.

A World of Accessibility to Quality Education

At CEA, we firmly believe that every child deserves access to an excellent education.  With approximately 12.5% of Arizona’s population living below the poverty line in 2022, according to Statista, the need for scholarships is evident. 

Our scholarships and tuition assistance programs are designed to bridge the gap for any family that desires a quality education for their child. These scholarships allow each child to thrive in a safe, nurturing environment, while also providing a quality education, By contributing your AZ tax dollars to CEA through an Arizona tax credit, you are helping students unlock their full potential and ensuring that financial barriers do not limit their future.

Building Diverse and Inclusive Schools

Our partner schools reflect a rich tapestry of perspectives, encouraging students to appreciate the value of diversity in all its forms. By fostering an environment of inclusivity, we help to cultivate future leaders who are empathetic, well-rounded, and prepared to make a positive impact on the world.

Sustaining an Incredible Graduation Rate

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to support families and students that desire to succeed in the school of their choice. Catholic schools have long been recognized for their high academic standards, and CEA takes pride in supporting students on their educational journey. The Diocese of Phoenix Catholic School Students that your AZ tax credit supports tout a 99% graduation rate. 

Our financial assistance ensures that students can focus on their passions and academic growth, leading to consistently high graduation rates. As we move forward, we remain dedicated to empowering students to follow their dreams and contribute to their communities.

Inspiring a Community of Servant Leaders

One of the pillars of Catholic education is the development of servant leaders—young people who are actively engaged in their communities. At CEA, we believe that community service builds character and instills a sense of purpose. Our vision is to help students, through financial scholarships, attend our Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Schools which foster opportunities and education on how to give back to their neighborhoods, schools, and local governments. We aim to support a generation of individuals who positively impact Arizona, the country, and the world through service and leadership.
