Teacher Scholarships

High-quality education begins with highly qualified teachers. The BOAST Maryland Tax Credit would encourage business support for nonprofit organizations and enrichment programs that provide graduate-level scholarships for nonpublic K-12 teachers. These opportunities will allow more teachers to achieve or retainstate certification or certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. As a result, nonpublic schools will be better able to improve instructional quality, as well as recruit and retain talented teachers. BOAST Maryland also supports educational enrichment programs that provide professional development opportunities to public school teachers.
