Two bills are heading to the floor of the Missouri Senate and we need your help to ask your Senator to vote YES on both bills.
Senate Bill 727 will expand the current MO Scholars Scholarship tax credit program. It will significantly expand eligibility (see chart below), increase the overall tax credit cap, make the tax credit refundable, and increase the maximum scholarship amounts for lower income students and those with special needs. Senate Bill 729 is an individual tax credit for taxpayers who incur educational expenses including private school tuition. Please see below to send an email to your Senator.
