Scholarships through the Invest in Kids Act and Empower Illinois

The Invest in Kids Act, recently passed by The Illinois General Assembly, provides additional private school scholarships for Illinois children from low-income families. Parents interested in applying for funds from a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) may do so through Empower Illinois or one of several other SGOs in Illinois.
