"Send me a Text Message!"

I break down what the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit is, how it works, and why the details could reshape school choice options for K-12 families starting in 2027. I also share practical steps to track whether your state opts in, what eligibility could look like, and how to prepare for timelines that may affect access. 

• What the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit law does and when it starts 
• How donations to scholarship granting organizations turn into student scholarships 
• What families can potentially pay for, including tuition, tutoring, technology, transportation, and disability services 
• Why governor opt-in decisions determine whether students in a state can receive scholarships 
• Income eligibility at 300% of area median income and why “eligible” may not mean “able to use it” 
• How homeschool and micro school definitions under state law can affect access 
• The $1,700 cap and the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction 
• Equity and access concerns when scholarship organizations can limit who they serve 
• Parent action steps, including contacting the governor’s office, state legislators, and local scholarship nonprofits (SGOs)
