The federal tax credit encourages private donations to scholarship organizations that can provide educational support to eligible K–12 students, including tutoring, technology, school supplies and tuition. These resources can benefit students in both public and private schools. The program does not use state education funding or take money from Connecticut public school budgets.

Connecticut must opt in for students in the state to participate. If Connecticut does not opt in, Connecticut taxpayers may still receive the federal tax credit for eligible contributions supporting scholarship organizations operating in participating states.

This VoterVoice campaign allows Connecticut residents to contact Governor Lamont regarding the state’s participation in the program..
