The Process

  • Students Apply

    Low-income and working-class families within 300% of the Federal Poverty Level apply for a scholarship to a private K-12 school of their choice.

  • Donors Give

    Individual and corporate donors make contributions to qualified scholarship granting organizations who then fund a scholarship. In turn, donors are eligible to receive a 75% state tax credit.

  • Scholarships are Awarded & Lives are Changed

    Scholarships are awarded to families who meet the income requirements, based on available funds at their school of choice.


Tax credit scholarships for K-12 students can cover up to 100% of private school tuition up to a maximum of the average Illinois cost to educate, which is roughly $16,000.
