About State Tax Credits

Educational Improvement Scholarship Program Tax Credits
Provides state tax credits for persons or businesses making monetary or marketable securities donations to foundations that provide scholarships to eligible students and children attending eligible preK-12 private schools and eligible nonpublic pre-kindergarten programs. While all low-income students are eligible for assistance under the GRASP program, we have a special interest in students with disabilities as those students not only have to overcome poverty but often have learning disabilities requiring additional educational support.
