The Education Freedom Tax Credit covers K-12 Education. 

For the K-12 years, this is the program — the mission to expand Christian Education.

From the network

What participating schools say.

“We're a Christian family with five school-age children. Having our kids receive an education with a Christian worldview is incredibly important to us because it lays the groundwork for the rest of their lives. But having this many attend private school simultaneously is financially challenging. We're so thankful that your organization considered our family for this scholarship.”

“The SGO scholarship has been an incredible blessing for our family. With two younger children that we hope to send to GCA, this support bridges the financial gap and makes a quality education possible for our kids. We are so grateful for the opportunity it provides!”

“Thank you so much for considering our family for this scholarship. With a large family, this support is incredibly helpful. It allows us to send our children to a school we trust to reinforce their biblical worldview and show them love every day!”

“Christian education was always something we wanted for our children, but there were times when we wondered if we could continue to afford it. Receiving an SGO scholarship was a tremendous blessing to our family. It helped ease the financial burden and allowed our children to remain in a Christ-centered school where they are growing academically and spiritually.”

Still have questions?

Any student whose family income is 300% or less than their Area Median Income, as defined by the federal government, is eligible for a scholarship.

Yes, in most cases. State programs and the Federal School Choice Tax Credit stack. The federal credit is for a charitable gift to a Scholarship Granting Organization, separate from the state mechanism. Both can apply to the same family.
