Diocese Increases Scholarships Through Special Purpose Entities Program
Students in Diocesan schools will benefit from nearly $1 million in additional scholarships thanks to the first year of an innovative program that gives donors a 90 percent state tax credit for the money they invest in Catholic education.
The Diocese is seeking to dramatically expand the program this year, creating additional opportunities for donors to redirect money they would otherwise have paid in state taxes to help children achieve academic success and learn Catholic values. Learn more...
