Sahuarita Christian Academy "SCA" is an IRS
recognized 501(c)(3)
Not-For-Profit Arizona Corporation. Since SCA is a
private K-12 educational organization it does not receive
any form of government funding, as such SCA relies upon many
different private forms, gifts, donations and sources of
funding for the administration of its programs. This
funding includes private donations to SCA from individuals
and families both in and outside of the State of Arizona as
well as certain gifts from corporate donors and/or their
employee matching programs. SCA and its students also
rely upon tax credit donations from both Arizona individuals
as well as Arizona C Corporations in providing the majority
of its students with a Tuition Tax Credit Scholarship.
Other contributing organizations to SCA are as follows:

Apollo Group
www.apollogrp.edu
headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona was founded in
1973 in
response to a gradual shift in higher education demographics
from a student population dominated by youth to one in which
approximately half the students are adults and over 80
percent of whom work full-time. Apollo's founder, John
Sperling, believed -- and events proved him right -- that
lifelong employment with a single employer would be replaced
by lifelong learning and employment with a variety of
employers. Lifelong learning requires an institution
dedicated solely to the education of working adults.
Today, Apollo Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, the
University
of Phoenix (including
University of Phoenix Online), the
Institute for
Professional Development, the
College for
Financial Planning, and
Western
International University, has established itself as a

adult.
