The Bottom Line Education Freedom Victories This Year

It’s been an incredible year thus far of education freedom victories.

Six More States Have Signed Universal School Choice into Law This Year

Massive legislative wins for education freedom have occurred at the state level this year, with Tennessee, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, Indiana, and New Hampshire passing universal school choice into law. That brings the total to 17 states granting all families statewide education freedom.

First Federal School Choice Program in History Becomes Law on Independence Day

As part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, the first federal school choice program in the history of our nation became law on July 4. The tax credit scholarship program, set to begin in 2027, will provide millions of children with educational scholarships!

The bill allows individual taxpayers to contribute to nonprofit scholarship-granting organizations and receive a 100 percent nonrefundable tax credit of up to $1,700 annually. There is no annual volume cap, and the tax code does not sunset over time. The scholarship funds can be used for a variety of educational expenses, including private school tuition, tutoring, services for students with special needs, educational technology, books, and transportation.
