Step Up For Students is hosting an online chat Tuesday discussing Florida's tax credit scholarship program.

We wanted to offer a plug to the folks over at Step Up For Students, who are hosting an online Q & A about the state’s tax credit scholarship program Tuesday.

Doug Tuthill, president of Step Up For Students, will answer questions about the program at redefinED.org beginning at 10:30 a.m. Step Up For Students is the non-profit which administers the tax credit scholarship program.

Companies receive a dollar-for-dollar deduction from a roster of taxes in exchange for donations to the scholarship program. For more details on how the scholarship program works, click here.

The program will serve more than 60,000 low-income students when classes start this fall. Each time lawmakers have expanded the tax credit cap, students have quickly snatched up the new scholarships.

You can submit questions at redefinED’s Facebook page.
