Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) | Download
| Organizing Office: | NYS Catholic Conference |
| Date(s) of Event: | N/A |
| Description: | Starting in 2027, the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit will let taxpayers redirect up to $1,700 of their federal income taxes to nonprofit scholarship organizations that provide tuition assistance for students in Catholic schools.
For example, a taxpayer owing $10,000 could direct $1,700 to scholarships instead of sending it to the federal government—directly helping families afford a Catholic education, and even additional services at public schools. But New York families will miss out unless the governor opts in. Governor Hochul’s participation would bring new scholarship dollars to Catholic schools, easing financial pressure on families and expanding access to faith-based education. Tell Governor Hochul to opt in and support Catholic school families. https://www.nyscatholic.org/action-center |
