Coming January 2027

The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit,
Kept in Mississippi.

Starting in January 2027, you can support Mississippi students and schools through a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit. Give up to $3,400 as a married couple filing jointly, or up to $1,700 as a single filer, and reduce your federal income tax by the same amount. Mississippi Education Collective is the scholarship granting organization (SGO) that makes it possible.
