Scholarship Overview
The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit is a program designed to increase educational opportunities by encouraging voluntary contributions to qualifying scholarship granting organizations (SGOs). Participating taxpayers can receive a federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 for their donations. These SGOs then allocate the collected funds directly to eligible students to assist with educational expenses.
Because the tax credit is federal and relies on voluntary contributions, state participation does not require reducing public school budget allocations. However, participating states are responsible for administrative oversight, including identifying qualifying SGOs and fulfilling supervision duties.
Who Can Apply
The program is intended to help eligible students access necessary educational services. This includes students with language-based learning differences—such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia—or those who struggle with attention and executive functioning. The funding supports families seeking specialized learning environments or alternative school placements, as well as eligible public school students who require supplemental educational services.
