Tax Credit Scholarships

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. 

 

The Alabama Accountability Act and Scholarships for Kids authorize donation-funded scholarships that enable low-income students to attend qualified private schools equipped to meet the needs of each individual learner. These scholarships are granted by specially created Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) for the sole purpose of taking private donations and awarding them to low-income students in schools that have qualified to receive funds. Spring Valley School receives funding from Scholarships for Kids, a state-approved Scholarship Granting Organization under the Alabama Accountability Act of 2013.            

Scholarships for Kids

Scholarships for Kids is a Birmingham-based Scholarship Granting Organization that works with Spring Valley School to make SVS a feasible option for any family seeking quality private education that meets the needs of their bright student with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and/or dysgraphia.
