Scholarship Tax Credits Are More Politically Popular Than Tuition Tax Credits

Scholarship tax credits, tax credits given to people who donate money for scholarships given to children other than their own, are more politically popular than tuition tax credits, tax credits given to people who spend money on education for their own children. This is because tuition tax credits are perceived as benefiting rich people while scholarship tax credits are perceived as benefiting the poor and middle class. This distinction could prove useful for supporters of school choice in deciding which school choice method to promote.
