Under the Education Freedom Tax Credit, taxpayers can get up to $1,700 back as a federal tax credit by donating that money to approved Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) instead of sending it to Washington in income taxes. Those SGOs then turn the donations into K-12 scholarships and other education help families can use for a broad range of costs tied to public, private or charter schools.
"Beginning January 1, 2027, Americans can reduce their tax burden by contributing to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization," the new website explains. "While anyone in America can take advantage of this tax credit next year, families cannot receive a scholarship if their governor blocks their state’s participation. Your voice is critical to ensure governors know about their responsibility to ensure that every family has affordable access to the best education for their child’s individual needs."
Among the governors highlighted on the page as resisting include: Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers.

"I want every parent in America to be empowered to send their child to public, private, charter, or faith-based school of their choice," Trump said in 2025. "The time for universal school choice has come. As we return education to the states, I will use every power I have to give parents this right."
