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 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.
Additionally, GCPA participates in Florida’s Personalized Education Program (PEP), providing Florida students who do not attend public or private school full-time access to an education savings account to fund their education needs. These funds can be used for online courses and tutoring at GCPA.
Discounts on Tuition: Family and Sibling Discount
If you’re wondering how much private school costs when you have multiple children who want to enroll, you’ll be happy to know that we offer a sibling discount for qualifying students.
When you enroll two or more children from the same family at Grand Canyon Private Academy at the same time, you could be eligible for this tuition discount. This offer saves 10% on tuition costs for additional children you enroll as full-time students. The sibling discount cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion.
Take this scenario as an example: you have three school-aged children who you want to enroll. Your first child would be enrolled at the full tuition price. Your second and third children, however, would be enrolled at a 10% discounted tuition rate for as long as all three children remain enrolled.
