 The New Jersey student support act  that was introduced in Trenton establishes program in the dept of treasury to provide tax credits to taxpayers contributing to organizations which awards  scholarship to certain non public  school  students. according to Teach NJ they hope to have a vote in June 

How will eligibility be determined? how will it work?  based on the initial bill submitted there will be student support organization that will receive contributions and administer the scholarship to eligible students that are in non public schools who are part of the national school lunch program, The student support organization can only spend 5% on administrative costs and is in charge of reviewing applications for schools by eligible families the max of contributions allowed per year is $250 million. Any student from any school or region in NJ can apply and scholarships amount must be equal to all, if there's too many students a lottery system will take place for the new applicants,  

Eligibility: A student is required to have a household income that does not exceed the federal income guidelines for reduced price lunch under the national school lunch program multiplied by 4.32. 

So a family of 4 who can make up to $55.500  for reduced school lunch can multiply that by 4.32  can make up to $239,760 and be eligible for tuition scholarship family of 8 can make up to $404k  (the income levels go up slightly every year)
