Remember! Tax Credit Scholarships will offer many families scholarships to cover FULL tuition.

Empower Illinois, a scholarship granting organization (SGO), established to enact the Invest in Kids Act, will begin accepting registrations on Tuesday February 27th at 7pm. Tax Scholarships will be given on a first come, first serve basis so all families must reserve their spot to apply on Tuesday evening. Families will not receive any financial aid until they register and apply for Tax Scholarships. 

The new process is a two step process. Step one is to register/reserve your spot on Tuesday at 7pm. Step two follows within a week or so when Empower Illinois sends you a link to fill in the full application. Once you receive the link, you have three days to apply providing all required materials.
