I am truly grateful to those who have redirected their tax liability to the Arizona s Catholic Tuition Support Organization (CTSO). Your support is providing our economically disadvantages students the necessary tuition aid needed to attend one of our schools. Our Catholic high schools educate many first-generation high school graduates who continue to college. Your investment in these students will have a tremendous impact on their future. Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger Dear Friend, We are deeply grateful for the support you have given to Arizona s Catholic Tuition Support Organization (CTSO). Everything we have accomplished is because of individuals like you, thank you! Our widely diverse community has the opportunity to educate their children in a school of their choice without limits placed upon them by their lack of financial resources or by the zip code in which they reside. Parents are securing the future for their children by seeking the education that will help those students succeed in the highly competitive workforce of today and in the future. Arizona s CTSO has accomplished its mission and exceeded its goals for the 2018 fiscal year. It has been a tremendously rewarding year with over $12 million dollars in scholarships funded and awarded to 6,300 students. We present to you the 2018 Fiscal Year in Review report with great satisfaction and appreciation for the support we have received. You are a blessing to us and to all the children who receive a scholarship from us! Sincerely, Marcy Euler Board President Gracie Quiroz Marum Executive Director

What Our Schools Have to Say Yuma Catholic High School A Yuma Catholic education prepares students for college and is an important foundation for future success. With the support of the CTSO individual and corporate tax credit programs, we are able to make the dream of a small campus, college focused high school curriculum a reality in Yuma. Making Yuma Catholic High School s first-rate educational experience affordable to everyone is a priority for our administration. Thank you to the generous tax credit donors. Families helping families is what makes the Yuma Catholic High School Community so strong. Our traditions never graduate, but our students do! Rhett Stallworth, Yuma School Principal St. Ambrose Catholic School The CTSO tax credit program has helped so many families at St. Ambrose Catholic School. We have an amazing community, and without this assistance, many of our families would not be able to bring their children to experience all the great things St. Ambrose has to offer! We are truly blessed to have the many individuals that contribute to CTSO, and we hope their generosity continues for years to come. It is with the help of these CTSO contributors that we are able to reach the lives of so many children in such a meaningful way. Roseanne Villanueva We transferred to St. Ambrose School because public school was not a good match for us. Here, my son feels safe, encouraged and confident. We are grateful for the full integration of faith, community service and values into a rigid academic program. Thank you, CTSO, because without you my son would not have this amazing opportunity.
