BIG NEWS FOR NEW YORK FAMILIES: Governor Kathy Hochul announced her support for New York's participation in the federal scholarship tax credit program, potentially opening the door to millions of dollars in tuition assistance for families sending their children to yeshivas and other private schools. Hochul said Friday that the program could bring significant funding to New York students without taking money away from public schools. The federal program allows taxpayers to receive tax credits for donations to approved scholarship organizations, which can then provide financial assistance to eligible families. Hochul said New York's participation must benefit students in both public and private schools, marking a major development for yeshiva families facing rising tuition costs.
