Almost 23 million students have parents who want them in afterschool programs but can’t afford it. A new federal program could change that.

The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (signed July 4, 2025) allows taxpayers to redirect up to $1,700 of their federal tax liability to nonprofits that provide education scholarships—including for afterschool programs, summer learning, tutoring, and transportation.
