RSI’s scholarship program is supported through a state tax credit program that allows qualifying contributions to receive a dollar-for dollar state income tax credit. You may contribute to RSI 100% of your state tax liability (not to exceed $100,000) for an individual or couple. Your tax credit may also be carried forward for three years. This allows you to exchange your tax liability for a contribution that will change a student’s future.

Corporation contributors can contribute up to 100% of its state tax liability with no maximum limitation.

Renaissance Scholarships, Inc. offers donors a unique opportunity to make a positive impact on Alabama’s families and children. By donating to RSI, you are opening the doors of opportunity by giving children the financial capability to fulfill their highest potential through the best education possible.

Please consult your personal tax advisor regarding the use of any tax credit to reduce your Alabama personal or corporate tax liability.
