MO Launches School Choice Scholarship Program

(MISSOURINET) – A Missouri program is up and running that gives tax credits to donors who provide scholarships to K-12 students attending the school of their choice.

State Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick’s Office oversees the MO Scholars program, which has already awarded scholarships to about 400 students.

Fitzpatrick says the scholarships are capped at 63-hundred dollars annually.

The scholarships can be used for private, public, online and home schooling, as well as tutoring, therapies, and other school-related expenses.
