Since 2009, Tax Credit Scholarships have provided a public incentive for private giving. Individuals and corporations can receive a 50% state tax credit when making donations to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO). In the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, the Scholarship Granting Organization of Northeast Indiana, Inc. has been established and offers scholarships to students who meet certain income requirements. Our Lady School participates in the SGO Scholarship Program
Eligibility:
The School Choice Scholarship Program was established in the 2011-2012 school year. It provides for a percentage of the state tax dollars allocated for a student to attend a public school to follow a child to the private school of their choice. Currently, this program allows for students (and often their siblings) to qualify for a voucher when they meet certain income requirements and eligibility pathways. Our Lady School participates in the School Choice Scholarship Program.
