Scholarship Granting
Provides scholarships for qualifying students and families.
Empower Illinois provides scholarship granting and educational policy advocacy for Illinois students, families, schools, and communities. The organization has served Illinois for more than 25 years and helped pass the Invest in Kids Act in 2018, which created the state's first tax credit scholarship program for students. Families can apply for scholarships through EmpowerXchange, the organization's application platform, and track application status there. Scholarship funds may support tuition, uniforms, transportation, education technology, books, supplies, internet access, tutoring, special education services, therapies, and afterschool programs. Empower Illinois also accepts donor gifts and promotes the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program, scheduled to launch in January 2027, for families attending public, charter, private, or home school.
