Senate Bill 528 authored by Senator Carlin Yoder would give individuals the opportunity to donate to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) and get a 50% tax credit. The SGO would then be able to provide scholarships to families who want to send their child to another public school or a private school and cannot afford to do so.  Scholarships would be limited to the student being new at the school and whose family would be at 200% of the free and reduced lunch rate or below.  Every child deserves the opportunity to get a first class education and this is a step in the right direction.

SB 528 passed committee and is awaiting action before the full Senate.

 Please call or email your State Senator and ask them to “Vote YES on SB 528.”  Senate: 800-382-9467 or 317-232-9400.
