Opening the Door to School Choice in Kentucky
Every family deserves the chance to choose the school that fits their child best.
The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit Program helps make that possible by providing financial aid, funded entirely by the federal government, to help families cover the cost of K–12 education.
Through this program, eligible Kentucky students can receive scholarships for tuition, books, technology, uniforms, and other approved expenses, whether they attend a public or private school.
Am I Eligible?
You may qualify for a scholarship if:
Your child is eligible to attend a K–12 school in Kentucky
Your household income is at or below 300% of your area’s median income
You can provide documentation of income for verification
For Example:
A family in Louisville may qualify with an annual household income up to $288,999 (based on 2024 HUD limits).
Your Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) will help verify your income and guide you through the process.
Find a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO)
Scholarships are awarded through approved Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs).
These nonprofits manage applications, verify eligibility, and award scholarships based on available funds and program rules.

Each SGO has its own mission, process, and deadlines, so it is a good idea to reach out early.
What an SGO Does:
