Tax Dollars Can Change a Student’s Life

New Way participates in the Arizona School Tuition Tax Credit through our School Tuition Organization, Financial Assistance for Independent Schools (FAIS). FAIS was established specifically for New Way to provide tuition assistance to students in financial need. No matter the amount, every gift makes a BIG difference.

Your contribution to FAIS as part of the Arizona Private School Tax Credit Program results in a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona state income tax filing.

The deadline to contribute for tax year 2025 is April 15, 2026.

In recent years, more than one in four New Way students have applied for financial assistance through FAIS. The average gift awarded was just over $6,000, around 25% of annual tuition. This year, FAIS awarded nearly half a million dollars thanks to generous donations from individuals like you.
