Scholarships for Education Choice

Your Gift Opens Doors to Quality Education

and gets you a tax credit!

Make a lasting impact on a student’s education while reducing your tax liability.

There are two separate ways that donors and families can participate: The Indiana State Tax Credit Program and the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program (FSTCP). You may participate in both, but each requires its own gift. A single donation cannot be claimed for both credits. Families can receive a scholarship from both as long as the combined total doesn’t exceed tuition.

Federal regulations are still forthcoming. Any clarifications will be updated on this page when the regulations are released.
