Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program

WHEN YOU INVEST IN A TEPEYAC GIRL, THE DIVIDENDS ARE IMMEASURABLE.

The Invest in Kids Act’s Tax Credit Scholarships provide strong incentives for donors to support students from low-income households in Illinois and to guarantee a high-quality education in our Catholic schools while building future leaders in our community. 

Donations for Tax Credit Scholarships (TCS) are made through Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGO’s). The two primary SGO’s used are Big Shoulders Fund and Empower Illinois  When you give, you can designate your Tax Credit Scholarship donation to go directly to Our Lady of Tepeyac High School. 

When you make a TCS donation, you receive a tax credit on your Illinois State taxes of 75% of your donation. For example, if you donate $1,000 for a tax credit scholarship, you will receive a credit of $750 on your Illinois taxes the following year.  That’s only $250 out of pocket for you, but $1,000 for Tepeyac tuition assistance.
