Maximize Your Impact on Scholarships

The Indiana School Scholarship Tax Credit makes your donation go even further when giving to Saint Thomas More Academy through a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)!

Our SGO allows donors to support Saint Thomas More Academy by directly funding scholarships for students in greatest need.

Individuals and corporations in the State of Indiana who donate to an SGO are eligible to receive the School Scholarship Tax Credit. Moreover, a donation to an SGO is designated for St. Thomas More Academy incoming or current student tuition costs. By giving directly to scholarships through our SGO, you provide a student at Saint Thomas More Academy the opportunity to be Formed through classical education that is rooted in fidelity to Christ and His Church.

How It Works

Both individuals and corporate donors qualify for this credit, up to $18.5 million annually statewide.

In addition to the 50% Indiana state credit, your gift may also qualify as a charitable deduction on your federal tax return.

Your gift provides access to Catholic education for needs-based students at STMA.

Key Tax Advantages

Donations to an SGO are eligible for a 50% state tax credit, reducing state income tax liability for the current year.
Contributions are also eligible for a federal tax deduction, further maximizing the financial benefit.
