Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) Scholarship Program

The Indiana Tax Credit Scholarship program is a privately funded scholarship that helps cover the costs of attending a private school. Funding for Indiana Tax Credit Scholarships comes from private, charitable donations to qualified scholarship granting organizations (SGOs). Donors are eligible to take advantage of a 50% tax credit. While there are no limits on the size of qualifying contributions to an SGO, the entire tax credit program has a limit of $17.5 million for fiscal year 2021-22 and $18.5 million for fiscal year 2022-23. This permits up to $35 million in donations and scholarships for fiscal year 2021-22. The SGO for all Archdiocese of Indianapolis Catholic Schools is the Institute for Quality Education (IQE) https://www.i4qed.org/. Students who do not qualify for a voucher, may qualify for a Tax Credit Scholarship.

To be eligible, a student must meet all of the following requirements:

1. Be a resident of Indiana
2. Family is at least 300% or below the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Income Guidelines *

* Income levels are based on adjusted gross income and are 300% of the cap for Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program guidelines. SGOs may set their income limits lower than 300% if they so choose.
