The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship
-
On July 4, 2025, the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Program (FTCS) was signed into law. It creates the nation's first federal scholarship-tax-credit program. It is a permanent, uncapped provision in the tax code that encourages private donations to fund K-12 scholarships.
· The program offers a non-refundable federal income-tax credit equal to the amount donated, up to $1,700 per tax return.
· There is no overall federal cap on credits issued.
Scholarships funded through ECCA are designed to expand educational opportunity. Eligible recipients must:
· Live in households with incomes at or below 300% of their area's median gross income.
· Be eligible to enroll in a public K-12 school.
Scholarships can be used for a wide range of education expenses, including:
· Tuition and fees at private or religious schools, microschools or for homeschooling
· Books, supplies, online educational materials and technology
· Tutoring, dual-enrollment courses and educational therapies (e.g., occupational, physical, behavioral or speech-language therapy)

· It will expand scholarship money for families to pay for tuition, books, supplies, technology, tutoring and other services for all students whether in public or private school.
