Welcome
Access matters.
From its founding, Elite Sports Academy was built on the belief that exceptional training and education should be accessible to talented, motivated students, not limited only to those who can afford it. Elite exists to develop student-athletes who excel in sport, character, discipline, academics, and leadership.
A rigorous academic program paired with elite athletic training can transform lives, open opportunities, and prepare young people to lead with integrity both on and off the field.

Affording Elite Sports Academy
Affordability and Support
Cost should not stand between a qualified student-athlete and the opportunity to train, grow, and compete at Elite. We admit students based on merit, including academic commitment, athletic ability, and personal character. After acceptance, we work closely with families through a clear and supportive process designed to help make Elite more accessible.
Admissions
Admission decisions are need blind and are based on academic commitment, athletic ability, character, and fit with the Elite model.
Scholarships
Families may pursue additional support through outside programs, empowerment scholarships, or STOs.
Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account
Arizona ESA funding may help cover private school tuition.
Elite Sports Academy is an approved private school option for families using Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account program. The program allows eligible Arizona students to use state education funding toward approved learning expenses outside the public school system.
For many families, that can include private school tuition and related qualified expenses. Funding amounts, allowable purchases, and payment timing are managed by the Arizona Department of Education, so families should confirm current requirements directly through ADE.
Funding snapshot
90%
State-calculated funding formula
Arizona ESA awards are generally based on 90% of the state support amount calculated for the student. Funds are distributed through ClassWallet on a quarterly schedule.
Eligibility, funding amount, allowable expenses, and payment timing are determined by the Arizona Department of Education and may change.
STO Options
Additional scholarship support may be available.
Arizona School Tuition Organization scholarships can help eligible families reduce the cost of private school tuition. Families apply directly to each STO, and each organization sets its own requirements, deadlines, and award decisions.
Apply to Multiple STOs
Families may apply to more than one STO, and scholarships may be combined up to the value of annual tuition.
Review Each STO’s Requirements
Deadlines, applications, eligibility rules, and award amounts vary by organization.
Awards Are Applied to Tuition
Scholarship funds awarded in a student’s name are applied directly to that student’s Elite tuition account.
