New: The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program launches January 2027.

Federal Scholarship Tax Credit

A new way to fund the education every family deserves

The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program (FSTC) launches in January 2027 and will empower millions of families — public, private and home school — with scholarships funded entirely through private donations, not taxpayer dollars.

  • Tuition, uniforms and school transportation
  • Education technology, books, supplies and internet access
  • Tutoring and special education services
  • Educational therapies and afterschool programs
$1,700

Dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit

Unlike a deduction, a tax credit reduces the tax you owe directly. A $1,700 credit means $1,700 less in federal taxes.

100%

of your gift comes back as a federal tax credit

credits can be carried forward up to five years
