The day before Thanksgiving, the Catholic Tuition Organization of the Diocese of Phoenix gave thanks for the $13.7 million in tuition assistance it provided for students this school year.
The event included a check presentation to MaryBeth Mueller, the superintendent of Catholic schools. CTODP also presented their new video.
The organization, thanks to state tax credits, works to provide affordable tuition through grants and scholarships. The dollar-for-dollar tax credit is available for up to $500 per individual or $1,000 for a married couple filing a joint tax return. Catholics can designate their donation for a particular school.
A new law implemented two years ago allows corporations to make contributions to a school tuition organization and receive a tax credit up to the amount of its tax liability.
