Federal Scholarship Tax Credit

The Education Freedom Tax Credit program offers a 100% credit on donations up to $1,700. When paired with Indiana’s existing state tax credit, donors can maximize support for Lutheran and Christian schools, helping more families access scholarships and strengthening faith-based education across the state.

Dreams Into Reality

Hear From Real Students

“Had it not been for the scholarships, perhaps we would not have been able to send our two sons to Redeemer Classical. Redeemer has had a significant impact on both of them. Not only because of the high caliber of education that they have received, but because of the strong emphasis on Lutheran catechesis. From the bottom of our hearts, our most humble thanks for making this possible.”

Aaron, Parent

“The Lutheran SGO is a particularly beneficial organization because of the special tax credits available to donors, and due to the way funds are shared for a particular mission and specific schools. As scholarship recipients, Lutheran SGO has helped our family afford education for our child that would have been completely out of reach financially. More than this, the education provided is of the highest quality–truly at a level that we had never anticipated. The assistance from Lutheran SGO has unquestionably served in making our child’s education and growth better. Even after we no longer need the assistance and our child is out of school, we plan to support the Lutheran SGO with our own gifts.”

Gifford, Parent

“The SGO scholarship has given us the opportunity to send our son to a Christian high school. This opportunity would not otherwise be possible without the generous donations of those who financially support this scholarship and for that we are truly grateful.”

Mother of a Concordia High School Student

“Our family has been incredibly blessed by the generosity of the Lutheran SGO donors. As a single income family of nine, we would not be able to afford the kind of beautiful, character-focused, Christ-centered education we desire for our children if it were not for the assistance we have received. We are so very grateful that our children are able to receive the exceptional education that our school provides. They are learning to be good, reasoning, and intelligent people who value their faith above all else. In a world that increasingly opposes the faith, we could not ask for anything more for our children. Thank you for your gifts that support us, as parents, in raising children who love the Lord and hold their faith as a treasure.”
