The Process

Simple to Give. Significant Impact.

The Oklahoma Equal Opportunity Education Scholarship Act makes it straightforward for donors to fund student scholarships while receiving a major state tax credit.

Make a Donation

Donate to Cornerstone Scholarship Fund, an approved SGO under the Oklahoma Equal Opportunity Education Scholarship Act. Both individuals and businesses are eligible to participate.

2

Receive Your Tax Credit

3

Students Receive Scholarships
