FAMILIES
Homeschool families qualify for the Education Freedom Tax Credit too.
For Families and Homeschoolers
Scholarships funded by donors, open to students learning at home
Starting January 2027, scholarships funded by the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit can pay for approved educational expenses for students learning at home. Whether your family can access them depends on your state.
Individual taxpayers can direct up to $1,700 each to Scholarship Granting Organizations and claim it back dollar for dollar against federal tax owed. Those organizations award scholarships to eligible K–12 students.
The program is written to serve students wherever they learn. Public school, private school, and yes, even at home.
What Scholarships Can Cover
Approved educational expenses include:
Final expense categories are subject to forthcoming U.S. Treasury regulations and to the criteria each Scholarship Granting Organization sets.
31 states have opted in. Is yours one of them?
Taxpayers can donate beginning in January 2027, but families can only benefit in states that elect to participate: and Governors must opt in each year. Here's where things stand today.
- Opted in
- Not yet opted in

If you lead a co-op, you have a role here
Homeschool families do not have a district office or a diocesan foundation working on their behalf.
Co-ops, state homeschool associations, and homeschool support organizations are the closest thing, and several are already asking how they can participate.
A 501(c)(3) homeschool association can qualify as a Scholarship Granting Organization and serve its member families directly. If that is a conversation you are having, we can walk you through it.
