WOW! Huge opportunity that will die if citizens don’t act… Federal support for Tax scholarships. Tax scholarship programs are the hottest thing going as a means of helping families attend religious (and other) schools of their choice. Tax payers who donate money to organizations that give education scholarships to K-12 students get the same amount of money back as a tax credit at the end of the year. This incentive promotes lots of giving by those who want to support childhood education.

Scholarships are then given to help parents access the educational resources of their choice. These plans are popular because they provide little room for government intrusion into private schools. Tax scholarship programs are usually under the state, but Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is proposing this at the federal level to work in conjunction with state programs. Contact your state and federal representatives to support this plan!
