STATE PARTICIPATION

Expanding Education Opportunities for Families

through Rhode Island’s Tax Credit Scholarship Program

For many Rhode Island families, finances stand between their child and a Christ-centered education. Children’s Tuition Fund exists to help remove that barrier, connecting contributors and schools to provide scholarships for students across the state.

As an approved Scholarship Granting Organization, CTF partners with Rhode Island schools to identify eligible families and awards scholarships to qualifying students, all while ensuring full compliance with state regulations.
