OHIO SCHOLARSHIP TAX CREDIT
Turn your Ohio taxes into a child's education. At zero cost to you.
Ohio gives back every dollar you donate to a certified Scholarship Granting Organization — up to $750, or $1,500 filing jointly — as a credit on your state income tax. EEF turns those dollars into K–12 scholarships.
