Reinventing American Education, Together.




What is the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program
(formerly known as ECCA)?



“As a mother, I know just how important it is for parents to decide how their children are educated. Parents must be able to decide the education that meets the needs and moral standards of their families, and that is why I am pushing to pass our Educational Choice for Children Act.”

– Ashley Moody, Florida Senator

School choice is indeed spreading like wildfire, and Congress has taken action. The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship was signed into law on July 4, 2025, and is a landmark initiative designed to make quality education accessible for every family in the United States. This new federal scholarship program will change lives and empower generations with endless educational opportunities for years to come.

YOU Can Make a Direct and Powerful Impact
Beginning in January 2027, you can help a family make important education choices and directly impact the future of their children. The Federal Tax Credit Scholarship program will allow you to receive a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit (up to $1,700 annually) for contributions to approved Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) like Step Up For Students. When you give to an SGO, you help fund scholarships for K-12 students that cover tuition, tutoring, technology, transportation, special education services, and other qualified expenses.

Why It Matters
Access for Most: Families earning up to 300% of area median income can benefit, including public school students. For example, in Florida, it is expected that 90% of families will qualify for a federal tax credit scholarship.
No Cost to States: Scholarships are funded through private donations incentivized by federal tax credits.
Donor Advantage: Your contribution costs nothing after the tax credit and directly impacts a child’s future.
Immediate Impact: Your pledge today will benefit thousands of student scholarships when the program launches.

“A system of school choice where 'the money follows the child” is one of the most powerful student-centered levers available, and it can help reinvent American education.”
