Yes, the public school tax credit donation is made directly to the public school of your choice and is strongly encouraged if your total tax liability equals or exceeds the total credit of both donations. The maximum tax credits available by law for both programs may adjust annually. This should be considered BEFORE you make your donation each year so you can take full advantage of the allowable credits for both the private and public school programs.

Notice
A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of a donor's recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer's own dependent.
