New Federal School Choice Tax Credit is Gift to American Families

The image shows a still‑life scene on a wooden surface featuring a stack of hardcover books topped with a black graduation cap. Between the books and cap sits a neat stack of gold coins. The background is dark and softly blurred, drawing focus to the symbolic objects associated with education, achievement, and financial investment.

In the Read Lion opinion piece “New Federal School Choice Tax Credit Is Gift to American Families,” ACE Scholarships CEO Norton Rainey frames the newly enacted federal school-choice tax credit as a meaningful opportunity for families to gain greater educational freedom. The article highlights the dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit—up to $1,700 per individual per year—for donations to scholarship-granting organizations that help low- and moderate-income families access the schooling that best fits their children’s needs, beginning in 2027. Rainey calls the policy a “rare and consequential gift” that could expand educational options nationwide, while also noting that its impact depends on whether individual states choose to participate.
