Invest in a JCA Student – IL Tax Credit Scholarships

4X the IMPACT

In August 2017, with bipartisan support, the Illinois House and Senate passed a comprehensive education funding bill which was signed into law by the Governor. The bill included a new five-year program for Tax Credit Scholarships (TCS) for students in private schools that will create more equity in school funding throughout Illinois. In the spring of 2021, the program was extended to 2023.
