Choosing the right school for your son or daughter matters — and can change the course of their lives.
We believe that no child's future should be limited by financial barriers.
At The Noble Arch Fund, we believe that no child's future should be limited by financial barriers. We exist to open doors for families who want the very best for their children but need help affording a private education that fits their child's unique needs.
As a certified School Tuition Organization (STO) in Arizona, we help families access private K–12 schools through scholarships funded by Arizona's tax credit program. And we do more than simply process scholarships — we walk alongside parents with care, encouragement, and practical guidance.
Because every child deserves the chance to thrive in the school where they belong, we have a singular mission to pry open the doors of opportunity for families across Arizona.

Founder & President
Jack Johnson Pannell is the Founder and President of Noble Arch Fund, with a lifelong commitment to expanding opportunity for students and families. For nearly 15 years, Jack has been an innovator in education, launching schools and scholarship initiatives that help families choose what's best for their children — regardless of income or zip code.
Previously, Jack founded and led the Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys, one of the first public charter schools in Maryland dedicated exclusively to educating boys. He has since guided the launch of Trinity Arch Preparatory School for Boys in Phoenix — an independent school designed to help young men grow academically, socially, and in character.
Jack is a graduate of Amherst College and Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. He also holds a Certificate in School Leadership from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Harvard Business School. As a Pahara Fellow in Education and moderator for the Aspen Global Leadership Forum, Jack has been recognized nationally for his vision and dedication to reimagining what school can be.
His work reflects a simple belief: every child deserves a chance to thrive — and every family deserves a partner who will walk alongside them every step of the way.
Choosing the right school for your son or daughter can change the course of their life. We believe every family should have the chance to make that choice — no matter their income. Our scholarships make private school possible for students all across Arizona, one family at a time.
We are now accepting applications for a limited number of students who are accepted and enrolled in our partner schools by January 2026.
Every family's story is different. The good news? Many Arizona students qualify for scholarship support through the state's private school tax credit program.
Your child is an Arizona resident enrolled in or accepted to a qualified private K–12 school.
Your child is transferring from a public or charter school to a private school.
Your family has a limited income and needs help covering tuition.
You're applying for a sibling of a student who already receives a scholarship.
We make the process as simple and supportive as possible:
Set up your secure family profile.
Provide the required documents.
Check our site for current application windows.
We'll notify you when awards are granted.
Arizona allows taxpayers to redirect a portion of their state income taxes to fund scholarships for private school students — at no cost to the donor.
Award amounts vary based on eligibility, available funds, and your family's needs.
We recommend applying every year — and you can reapply if you're continuing in the same private school.
No — scholarships are not loans. They're here to help you cover tuition costs, plain and simple.
Still not sure if you qualify? We're here to help you figure it out.
More questions? We're just an email or phone call away. Our job is to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
Every child deserves the chance to thrive in the school that fits them best. By donating to The Noble Arch Fund, you don't just give money — you redirect your Arizona tax dollars to provide scholarships that open doors and change lives.
Your donation is a direct tax credit — not just a deduction — on your Arizona state taxes.
Your support helps students who would not otherwise have access to the education they deserve.
We make sure your contribution goes where it matters most: helping families succeed.
Arizona law makes it easy for individuals and married couples to turn their tax liability into scholarships for local students — at no additional cost to you.
Example: A married couple can donate up to the maximum credit amount each year and receive every dollar back when they file their Arizona tax return.
Businesses can make a powerful difference too — while maximizing their tax credits and community impact.
Impact Example: A local business turns tax dollars into opportunities for dozens of students each year, strengthening families and the future workforce.
We partner with schools that share our commitment to high academic standards, caring communities, and genuine support for every student's growth.
At Noble Arch Fund, we believe that the right school makes all the difference. That's why we partner with schools that share our commitment to high academic standards, caring communities, and genuine support for every student's growth.
One of our founding partners is Trinity Arch Prep, a faith-based school in Phoenix dedicated to the growth and well-being of boys ages 10–15. Trinity Arch Prep is uniquely designed to serve boys in a small, nurturing setting, offering individualized tutoring and mentoring so each student can thrive — academically, socially, and personally.
We don't just send scholarship funds — we work side by side with schools that actively seek out, reach, and welcome families who deserve a high-quality education but may not have the means to access it.
Presently, Noble Arch Fund is reaching out to schools that share our mission and have a desire to collaborate in seeking out, reaching, and finding families who deserve a high-quality education.
