Through the Louisiana Scholarship Tax Credit Program, individuals and businesses can redirect a portion of their Louisiana state tax liability to scholarship organizations such as ACE Scholarships Louisiana and Arete Scholars. These organizations provide scholarships that help families access a Christ-centered education at schools like Westminster Christian Academy.
Donors typically receive a 95% Louisiana state tax credit on their contribution. For example, if you expect to owe $5,000 this year in Louisiana state income taxes, you could contribute $5,000 to an approved scholarship organization, such as ACE or Arete, and receive a $4,750 tax credit, reducing your state tax bill to just $250 while helping fund scholarships for students! You can also designate Westminster Christian Academy (Lafayette + Opelousas Campuses) with your donation to Ace or Arete.
Both individuals and businesses can participate in the program, and any unused tax credits may be carried forward for up to three years.
This program allows donors to turn their Louisiana tax dollars into meaningful educational opportunities, helping more students attend Westminster Christian Academy and other private schools across the state.
Be sure to consult your CPA or other tax professional as Westminster Christian Academy does not provide tax advice.
