Is the Tax Credit Scholarship the same thing as a Choice Scholarship voucher?- Choice Scholarships (voucher) are state funded scholarships
- Tax Credit Scholarships are fully funded by private, charitable donations made to the Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)
Some students may be eligible to receive both a Choice Scholarship (voucher) and a Tax Credit Scholarship in the same year. Students who receive a Tax Credit Scholarship may become eligible for a Choice Scholarship (voucher) the following school year.
All 15 participating Catholic schools in the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana partner with the Institute for Quality Education as the Scholarship Granting Organization.
