Today in Valrico, I was proud to announce that Florida is building on our historic expansion of school choice by opting in to the new federal tax credit scholarship program established by the Trump Administration.
Florida leads the nation in education freedom. In 2023, we enacted universal school choice to give every family access to school choice options that meet their needs. Nearly half of all students in Florida are now learning in a school choice setting—whether that’s private, charter, virtual, or homeschool.
The newly enacted Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit is an opportunity to further support education freedom. Starting January 1, 2027, Florida taxpayers will have the opportunity to receive a tax credit of up to $1,700 per year for contributing to the program which assists K-12 students with educational expenses.
By opting in to this program, we are once again empowering Floridians to make the choices that are best for themselves and their families.
