NEW: The Southern Education Foundation intends to launch an alliance of scholarship granting organizations focused on helping students in public schools benefit from the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit.

Beginning January 1, 2027, eligible taxpayers will be able to receive a federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for qualifying contributions to approved SGOs in participating states. The law also allows these contributions to support qualifying educational expenses for eligible students attending public schools, including tutoring and other educational services. SEF is working to ensure public education has a meaningful seat at the table as implementation moves forward. Through the new alliance, SEF will help participating SGOs build awareness, develop high-quality operations, share evidence and best practices, and create meaningful opportunities for taxpayers who want to use the federal tax credit to support students in public schools. Our focus is not simply on bringing additional resources to students. We want those resources connected to high-quality, evidence-backed services that can demonstrate meaningful results.
