    What is the Emmaus Road Scholarship Fund?
    The Diocesan Education Corporation (DEC), a scholarship granting organization (SGO), is doing business as Emmaus Road Scholarship Fund.  DEC was the first organization in the state of Ohio to be certified as an SGO by the Ohio Attorney General. This fund benefits students in the Diocese of Columbus Catholic schools.

    What is an SGO?
    Ohio law defines a “scholarship granting organization” as an organization certified by the Ohio Attorney General as satisfying three criteria. First, it must be a religious or non-religious charitable organization with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Second, it must primarily award academic scholarships to primary and secondary school students. Third, it must prioritize awarding scholarships to low-income primary and secondary school students. The organization must also comply with all applicable registration and reporting requirements with the Ohio Attorney General in order to be certified.

    Who can donate to the SGO?
    • Anyone can donate to the scholarship! Only taxpayers will receive a tax credit.

    Here’s How to get your Tax Credit:
    • Make a gift to the Emmaus Road Scholarship Fund equal to the amount of your gift (up to $750 or $1,500 if married and filing jointly).
    • Your gift can be directed specifically to St. Charles OR you can make a gift to the general (unrestricted) fund to help the greatest number of students in the diocese.
