Desert View Learning Center Scholarships
A Valuable Tax Credit for You, A Quality Education for a Deserving Child.
HELP FUND SCHOLARSHIPS WITHOUT INCURRING ANY EXTRA COST FOR YOU!
Desert View Learning Center is a small, nonprofit school serving the Phoenix area since 1973. As a progressive private school, we are committed to ensuring that NO student is denied access to Desert View because they are unable to pay our tuition. Our scholarship program pays full or partial tuition for about 30% of our children and is funded by the Arizona State Income Tax Credit for contributions to private schools.
You can help fund DVLC scholarships without incurring any extra cost to you! It’s true!
You can direct up to $1,000 of your state income tax payments to
Desert View Learning Center Scholarships. This tax credit money ONLY funds scholarships for families with demonstrated financial need.
For example ...
If you owe $4,000 in AZ state income tax, THEN...
EITHER… You pay $4,000 to the Arizona State Treasury;
OR… You GIVE $1,000 to the SWH Foundation
for DVLC scholarships;
AND
You ONLY Pay $3,000 to the Arizona State Treasury. YOU DECIDE!
How it works ...
- Send up to $1,000 ($500 if single) to the Schools with Heart Foundation by December 31. Schools with Heart is the school tuition organization that administers our scholarship money. Contributions must be received before April 15.
- Arizona State will then give you a dollar-for-dollar credit against your state taxes. Any amount counts as a payment towards state income tax and reduces the total amount you owe the state. If the combination of your contribution to Schools with Heart AND the taxes withheld from your paycheck is greater than the amount you owe the state, you will receive a refund from the state.
- DVLC uses these contributed tax dollars to provide scholarships to chidren from families with demonstrated financial need. We believe that all children should have access to quality education, and we treasure the diverse community these contributions permit us to create.
Our goal is for 100% participation from our families, and all AZ tax payers can participate! This program is not limited to DVLC families. Please encourage your relatives, friends and neighbors to direct their tax dollars to Desert View scholarships.
NOTICE A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the tax payer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent. Required byHB 2663 and HB 2664, May 2010 |
Other school tax credits ...
Please note that this contribution does NOT preclude you from taking advantage of the AZ state tax credits for a contribution to a public or charter school or to a charitable organization supporting the working poor. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities too.
