Hopi Mission School

About Hopi Mission School

There are three actual or potential categories of cost, depending upon the economic status of the student families. An Admission Fee of $25 per month, $250 for the year, is charged to everyone. Tuition is charged at the rate of $250 per month, for which the goal of the school is to cover the entire cost from the Arizona state income tax credit program Arizona Tax Credit (see separate section on the website for more details), supplemented by scholarship grants provided by supportive churches and individuals. The maximum amount that families pay for tuition in any one year is $500 per student. If students do not qualify for free lunch (most of them do), they pay either a reduced price of 40 cents or full rate of $1.83. This is determined by family income on a schedule established by the State Department of Education Child Nutrition Program. Arizona residents who pay state income tax can redirect up to $625 for couples, $500 for single persons, to a tuition organization designated for scholarships for private school students. They can name Hopi Mission School as the recipient of their donation. When they file their annual tax return, they can deduct up to these amounts from their tax liability, which means that the contribution costs them nothing. It is a tax credit, not a deduction. Residents of other states can make a contribution directly to the school designated for student scholarships. This is a tax-deductible gift for both federal and state income tax purposes, since Hopi Mission School is a 501(c)(3) organization that qualifies for tax-deductible gifts.
