Empower Illinois - We Need Your Help!

Jamie Lavigueur
Did you know that more than 60 scholarships have been awarded to St. Francis High School students since 2018 thanks to the Invest in Kids Tax Credit Scholarship Program? 
 
Many deserving students would not be able to attend SFHS without these scholarships. Our school community is stronger from these scholarships, too, as the recipients truly exhibit what it means to be a Spartan!
 
Passed in 2017, the Invest in Kids Tax Credit Scholarship Program provides scholarships to students from low-income and working-class families to attend their best-fit school. The program is a proven success with bipartisan voter support, awarding more than 38,000 scholarships worth more than $300 million.
 
Despite its immense success, the Tax Credit Scholarship Program has a sunset clause, which would end the program in 2023 unless our state lawmakers vote to extend or make the program permanent.
We need YOUR help!
