Scholarship Opportunities

Empowerment Scholarship
As one of the premiere school choice programs in the United States, ESA seeks to deliver high quality educational options as an alternative to public school. An Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) is an account established to provide an education for qualified students. The program’s main purpose is to provide options for parents to freely choose how and where to educate their children with financial assistance from the state. If your child attends a “D” or “F” rated school or you are an active duty member of the armed forces, your child may be eligible for this scholarship. Click here to see full eligibility requirements.
Merit-Based Scholarships

Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.)

Tuition Reduction Incentive Program

T.R.I.P. COORDINATOR Rhonda Clauss 480-897-7031 Email: gccstrip@graceaz.com What is T.R.I.P.?

  • T.R.I.P. is a Tuition Reduction Incentive Program. We purchase gift certificates at a discounted price from area merchants and national SCRIP organizations.
  • We then sell these certificates at face value to parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers or any interested person.
  • 80% of the difference in the discounted price and the face value is then credited to your tuition account as a rebate to help reduce the cost of sending your student to GCA.
  • T.R.I.P rebates may be applied to your family account.
  • We also have several accounts that benefit financial aid, sports programs, or academic departments here at GCA for those who want their rebates directed there instead of a tuition account.

Who Can Use T.R.I.P.?

  • GCA parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers or any interested person.
