Provide a Student Scholarship - FOR FREE

Scholarships for Kids uses a portion of your tax liability to provide tuition assistance to students who demonstrate a financial need. You’re not just giving a scholarship, you're getting a tax credit. By redirecting a portion of your tax liability to Scholarships for Kids, you reduce the total amount of your tax bill by 100%.You have an opportunity to give a child access to an education they could not otherwise receive at no cost to you. So the question isn’t “why,” but rather, “why not?”

FOLLOW THESE 3 EASY STEPS

    Taxpayers estimate their Alabama income tax liability. If you overestimate, and the amount redirected exceeds your liability, you may carry your credits forward up to 3 years.
