When Can I Start Donating?

Donations through the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) Program will begin being accepted on January 1, 2027.

We'll share more information as the launch approaches, including how to make a donation and the participating Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) you can support.

What Is the Deadline to Donate?

To qualify for the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) for a given tax year, your donation must be made by December 31 of that year.
