Help Students at Valley
Lutheran High School
Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation to ACSTO provides scholarships to students at
Valley Lutheran High School.
Choosing the right high school is one of the most important decisions a family will make, and at Valley Lutheran High School, we are committed to making that investment life-changing. Our Christ-centered, college preparatory education equips students to excel academically while growing in faith, character, and leadership. Students benefit from challenging Honors, AP, and Dual Credit opportunities, with more than 80% of AP exams earning a passing score and 83% of seniors graduating with transcripted college credit. Just as important, 98% of our students are involved in athletics, fine arts, clubs, leadership, or service, creating a campus where every student is encouraged to discover and develop their God-given gifts.
The difference extends well beyond graduation. Valley partners with families to reinforce Christian values while preparing students for success in college and life. Seventy-five percent of our graduates enroll directly in four-year colleges and universities, while others pursue community college, trade programs, military service, or other meaningful paths. Families consistently tell us that what sets Valley apart is more than strong academics, it is a community where teachers genuinely know and care for each student, faith is woven into everyday life, and young people graduate with the confidence, character, and biblical foundation to lead, serve, and make a lasting impact wherever God calls them. When families choose Valley Lutheran, they aren't simply selecting a high school, they are joining a Christ-centered community committed to helping every student flourish academically, spiritually, and personally.
As an Arizona taxpayer, your donation to ACSTO provides scholarships for students to attend Christian Schools while you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against your state tax liability!
A tax credit is very different than a charitable deduction—rather than reduce your taxable income, it directly reduces your state tax liability (a.k.a. the tax you pay). This means that at the end of the year, if you normally receive a refund, you’ll get a bigger refund. If you normally owe taxes, you’ll owe less. It is to your advantage to participate in this program!
For example, if your tax liability is $1,000 and you make a $750 donation to ACSTO, your liability will be reduced to $250.
In addition, you can donate all the way up until Tax Day or before you file your taxes (whichever of these comes first), and still claim the credit for the previous tax year.
The best part? ACSTO uses your tax credit donation to award tuition scholarships to Christian School students attending one of our Partner Schools. You can even identify a school or recommend a specific student to be considered for a scholarship.
Thank you for making Christian Education affordable for thousands of Arizona families!
