IL Tax Credit Scholarships
A Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a state-certified 501(c)(3) that administers the Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program and awards financial assistance to Illinois students (K-12) who do not have the economic means to attend a private school like CRSM. Contributions made through an SGO feature a 75% state tax credit to all Illinois residents and corporations. Click here to read more about this vehicle of giving.
