Good afternoon,
Tuesday, January 15 at 7:00 p.m.
is the official opening of the two-step
2019-2020 Tax Credit Scholarship process.
If you would like to apply for a scholarship through the Invest In Kids Illinois scholarship program, be ready at 7:00 p.m. on January 15.
It is extremely important that you apply when the process begins to receive a date/time stamp for your application.
Here's all you need to do . . .
Step 1.Reserve:
On January 15 at 7:00 p.m., families complete a one-page online reservation form with the following information:
- Parent/Guardian’s first and last name
- Phone Number
- Email address
- Household Address (street, city, state & zip)
- Student’s first and last name ( families can add additional boxes for all children for whom the family is applying)
There will be three legal disclaimer checkboxes at the bottom of the page.
Once the page is submitted, you receive a timestamp for the first-come, first-served scholarships. The reservation system is accessible from mobile devices.
If you have any questions, you can call the Empower Illinois hotline at (309) 416-0741 (receiving calls until 9:00 p.m. on January 15)
or send an e-mail to
scholars@empowerillinois.org
.
Step 2. Apply:
After reserving a place in line, you will be emailed a link to login to the parent portal to complete the application. The application phase opens on January 18. You can view a sample reservation and application by accessing

. Families are encouraged to complete the application before January 28 for the best chance of receiving a scholarship. If a family does not submit their application before January 28, another applicant may receive a scholarship before them, even if the family has reserved a place in line in front of them.
