States nationwide are implementing and expanding education tax credit programs, easing families’ financial burden by reducing state income tax on qualifying educational expenses, such as tuition and instructional materials.

Education tax credits lower the cost of nonpublic education for families. These programs encourage innovation and customization, letting parents choose what works best for their children.

As states add education tax credits, we must continually evaluate their impact to balance all interests and keep education accessible and fair for every student.
