Using Arizona ESA funds with Brilliant

Brilliant is an approved Direct Pay vendor for the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program, and you can also pay by card.

Two ways to use your ESA with Brilliant

We recommend an annual plan: one payment and one ClassWallet submission for the year.

Option 1: Pay by card

Works for monthly subscriptions and auto-billing. What you do next depends on the card.

ESA debit card (from ClassWallet)

1. Subscribe to Brilliant on the web with your ESA debit card.
2. Upload your Brilliant receipt or paid invoice to ClassWallet as documentation. It's due by the end of the month after the quarter ends.
3. There's nothing to reimburse, because the money came directly from your ESA balance.

Personal credit card or an ESA payment card

1. Subscribe to Brilliant on the web.
2. In ClassWallet, go to Reimbursements, upload your itemized receipt, and choose the expense category.
3. Reimbursement is deposited to your linked bank account.

Subscribe on the web so your receipt comes from Brilliant. Your Brilliant receipt email is itemized. For a copy with your student's name or a paid invoice, email support+esas@brilliant.org.

Option 2: Pay through Direct Pay

Best for a fixed-term purchase.

1. In ClassWallet, search for "Brilliant" under Pay Vendor / Direct Pay.
2. Email support+esas@brilliant.org with your student's name to request an invoice.
3. Upload the invoice in ClassWallet for approval. Payment goes directly to Brilliant.

Each Direct Pay invoice is paid once. For a subscription that renews automatically, use Option 1.
