School Tuition Organizations

School Tuition Organizations (STOs) are nonprofit groups that help families pay for private school by collecting donations and providing scholarships or tuition assistance. Donors contribute to an STO and receive a tax credit or deduction, encouraging more giving. The STO then allocates the funds to eligible students, making private education more accessible for families needing financial support. These organizations are regulated to ensure transparency and proper use of funds, aiming to expand educational options while maintaining accountability.
