Schools & families

A new opportunity for our mosdos and the families they serve.

The federal scholarship tax credit can bring meaningful new funding to yeshivos and girls’ schools. Here’s what it means, and how to be ready when the program opens on January 1, 2027.

For yeshivos & schools

What the program can mean for your institution.

1

New scholarship dollars

Money that used to leave the community as federal tax can come back as scholarships for your students.

2

Support from everyone

Alumni, grandparents, working young adults, and neighbors without children in school can all help, at no extra cost to them.

3

Relief for families

Scholarships can cover tuition, books, technology, tutoring, and special-needs services, which eases the strain on parents and on your tuition committee.

For parents

Could your family qualify?

Under the law, a student may receive a scholarship if they’re eligible to enroll in a public elementary or secondary school and their household income is no more than 300% of the area median gross income. Many families in our community will meet that standard.

How to prepare

  • Know your household income. Eligibility is based on income up to 300% of the area median.
  • Keep your tax returns and income documents organized and easy to find.
  • Talk to your school’s office about how it plans to take part.
  • Ask relatives and friends who pay taxes to consider pledging for your children’s schools.

Scholarships depend on the contributions received and on final federal and state rules, so we can’t promise awards to any particular family or school. We’ll share application details as soon as they’re confirmed.
