Session 1: Leveraging the New Federal Scholarship Tax Credit: Possibilities & Challenges for Districts

LIVE: July 22, 2026, 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET

A new federal tax credit, created by HR 1: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allows individuals to direct up to $1,700 in federal tax payments to a scholarship-granting organization (SGO) of their choice. While many private schools are well-positioned to tap this new revenue stream, public school systems in most states can also use it to provide critical academic, enrichment, and social-emotional supports for their students. Register to learn more about this program, what it means for K–12 education and schools, and how SBOs and superintendents can leverage the program to support public school students.
