Financial Aid
Grand Canyon Private Academy participates in Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA). Arizona's ESA fully covers GCPA's tuition costs, meaning Arizona students can receive a private education for free.*
The ESA is for Arizona residents only and provides all Arizona families financial aid to help cover tuition costs and pursue flexible options to customize their children's education.
Public funding through the ESA enables families to expand their educational opportunities outside of the public school system and further personalize their education experience. Arizona's ESA can cover education expenses, including private school tuition, tutoring services, learning materials, and more.
