Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Program
In Arizona, parents have the fundamental right to choose the best educational path for their children—and the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program helps make that choice a reality.
Through the ESA program, administered by Class Wallet, families can direct the funds that would have gone to their child’s public school education toward a learning environment that better suits their individual needs—including homeschooling.
ESA funds can be used for a wide range of educational expenses, giving homeschool families unprecedented flexibility and support. Approved uses include:
Private school tuition, Curriculum purchases, Educational materials and supplies, Tutoring and specialized education services, Fees for standardized tests, such as SAT or ACT, Therapies and services for students with special needs, Online learning programs, and more.
NFC Academy Is An Approved Provider for Arizona
NFC Academy is an approved Direct Pay provider through ClassWallet and is ready to help your family begin the enrollment process.
Simply select from any of our accredited online programs for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Once you have chosen the program that best fits your family’s needs, we will prepare the information required for your ClassWallet purchase.
While you are submitting your purchase through your ClassWallet account, the NFC Academy Admissions Team will begin preparing your student’s enrollment. This includes gathering academic records (when applicable), reviewing previous coursework, and developing your student’s enrollment plan.
For students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, we will prepare an Academic Plan. For students in grades 9 through 12, we will develop a personalized Path to Graduation outlining the courses needed to meet graduation requirements.
Your Academic Plan or Path to Graduation will be sent to you for review and approval before enrollment is finalized. During this time, we will also prepare your student’s online classroom, establish access to all required resources, and complete the remaining enrollment details so everything is ready for a successful start once your purchase is approved.
Our goal is to make the enrollment process as simple and seamless as possible.
How Your Class Wallet Account Is Set Up
Families participating in Arizona’s education funding programs (such as the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship/ESA programs) can use ClassWallet to pay approved educational expenses. NFC Academy is a Direct Pay participant with ClassWallet, making it easier than ever for eligible families to use their education scholarship funds. As a Direct Pay provider, approved tuition and fees are paid directly from your scholarship account to NFC Academy, eliminating the need for most families to pay out of pocket and then wait for reimbursement.
Step 1: Review NFC Academy’s Website.

- You may be asked to check boxes describing the category, such as Tuition and Fees for payment, or some other area in a specialized program.
- While that is being done, we will move forward with the preliminary information to get your child started.
- We will request the records if applicable.

Homeschool Resources for Arizona
Homeschooling has been part of education for centuries. In earlier times, it was simple to begin without worrying about rules or oversight. Today, however, homeschooling regulations vary by state, and some families may find it more challenging to get started. That’s why NFC Academy provides helpful state-specific pages outlining homeschool laws—to guide and support you as you begin your journey.
In areas with stricter requirements, having reliable support is important. Organizations like the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) offer valuable legal guidance and protection, helping families stay informed and confident. With the right tools and resources, homeschooling can be a rewarding and manageable experience, no matter where you live.
