Welcome to Simply STO - Arizona's Efficient Tuition Partner
Simply STO is a certified School Tuition Organization (STO) committed to delivering private school scholarships with maximum efficiency. We transform Arizona tax credit donations into tuition assistance for K-12 students at qualified private schools, minimizing overhead and maximizing impact. Our focus is clear: connect donor generosity with student opportunity, swiftly and effectively.
Who We Serve
We support Arizona families seeking tuition relief and taxpayers aiming to make a difference. You can’t use your own Arizona tax credits to help your child, but friends, family, or anyone else can pitch in to support your child’s private school tuition. We collaborate with private schools statewide to ensure scholarships reach eligible students efficiently.
How Donations Work
At Simply STO, we make tuition support quick and easy. When someone donates to us, they let us know your child’s name and school to recommend them. We’d love to send every dollar straight to that student, but Arizona law has us follow some rules instead of just going with the recommendation. It’s not up to us—we check who qualifies to keep things fair, putting your recommendation first whenever we can. Then, we get the most possible to that student, fast, with no extra hassle or steps. That’s it: simple, efficient tuition help, no complications.
What Sets Us Apart
- Higher Scholarship Yield: Unlike STOs that may retain up to 10% for operations, we dedicate a greater share to scholarships by keeping our costs substantially leaner.
- Streamlined Approach: We eliminate unnecessary features and processes, focusing solely on delivering tuition support without extras.
- Upright Integrity: We operate with honesty, transparency, and strict adherence to Arizona law—no shortcuts or shady moves, just doing it right.
- Family-Centered Mission: Our priority is helping parents afford the education they choose, keeping students at the heart of every decision.
Our Commitment
We adhere to Arizona regulations, directing over 90% of donations to scholarships, submitting to annual audits, and reporting to the Department of Revenue. Beyond compliance, we’re dedicated to providing a seamless experience for donors and families, ensuring every contribution counts.
Simply STO empowers Arizona families with an efficient, honest, and reliable way to fund private education and offers taxpayers a direct path to support students. We simplify the process so you can focus on what matters—education.
