How Schools Work with Us
A Partnership Built for Impact
The Education Covenant Project partners with Jewish day schools to fully leverage the federal scholarship tax credit launching in 2027 — turning new legislation into predictable scholarship funding that reduces tuition for families.
This requires alignment across leadership, donors, messaging, and compliance. Few schools have the resources to undertake this. ECP helps with the heavy lifting.
What Partnership Means
Our goal is to help you build measurable participation.
What ECP Provides
ECP helps schools move from uncertainty to responsible planning — with visibility into anticipated scholarship dollars before the program launches.
