Forbes – Mike McShane
“States provide private school choice in several different ways. Perhaps the most familiar type of program is the school voucher, which takes part of the money that the state allocates to educate a child and gives it to his or her parents to help pay for tuition at a private school. Tax-credit scholarship programs give individuals or corporations credits against their tax liability for donations to non-profit organizations that grant scholarships to students. Education savings accounts work like vouchers, but instead of going to one school, funds can be subdivided between multiple providers, like a health savings account.” (more)
