Here’s what you need to know:

• Michigan Student Opportunity Accounts fund families and students so they can access the educational opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
• Students from all over Michigan are eligible for these scholarships.
• Michigan Student Opportunity Accounts are funded by individual and corporate tax credits which create scholarships.
• Scholarship funds can be spent on a variety of educational needs such as online classes, tutoring and tuition, textbooks and curriculum materials and skilled training.
• Programs like this have helped kids in 21 other states – from around the political spectrum.
• Studies have found that all students succeed when kids can access the educational opportunities they need ­– even those who remain in district schools.

Michigan’s legislature passed legislation to create this program in 2021 only to have it vetoed by the governor­– but we can still succeed. This school choice initiative does not need Gov. Whitmer’s signature to become law.
