For Parent/Guardian: How has CEA helped make Catholic education attainable and affordable for your family?

CEA helped make Catholic education attainable and affordable for my family by providing tuition scholarships to our son who is attending St. Gregory Catholic School. Without CEA ‘s help, we may never be able to send our son to a Catholic School because we can’t afford the tuition fees on our own.

For Student: What does a Catholic education mean to you and your family?

My journey through Catholic School Education has been transformative, changing not only my academic abilities but also my character, values and faith. The emphasis on compassion, service, and a relationship with God has influenced the way I live my life and interact with others.

For Student: Why is this opportunity important to you?

Catholic education is important to me because I am able to practice my faith and get an individualized education that will help prepare me for college and for real life. At school, praying and worshiping with my friends has always been natural to me, as we feel more like family than just classroom. With a faith filled, family based education that teaches me not only academic lesson, but life lessons, I know I will be adequately prepared to give back, especially give back to the Giver of Life.

For the whole family: How would you thank those that have helped make your education possible through their state tax dollars and encourage them to continue to support Catholic Education Arizona?

We are very grateful for the numerous financial contributions you have made in support of our son’s education. Without your help, we may never have been able to send our son to a Catholic School. Your generosity and help have been our son’s inspiration to excel in class. Hope you continue to support Catholic Education Arizona through your direct state tax credits. Million dollars have been raised and thousands scholarships have been awarded to different Catholic Schools in Arizona.
