  • Credit Eligibility:
    • All kindergarten students are eligible for both the Original and PLUS/Overflow credit programs.
    • Most transfer students should be eligible for both the Original and PLUS/Overflow Credit Programs.   Please see the PLUS/Overflow Eligibility Criteria.

Your student must have an approved 2024-2025 AZTO Application on file to be eligible for AZTO awards.
