Total for the entire state: per Grok
In the 2024-2025 school year (the most recent year with a full public annual report from the NC State Education Assistance Authority/NCSEAA), at least 10 Islamic (or Muslim-affiliated) schools received Opportunity Scholarship (voucher) funding.
These schools were identified in the official recipient list by names clearly indicating Islamic affiliation (e.g., containing “Islamic,” “Al-,” “Ibn,” “Madinah,” “Mishkah,” “ILIM,” etc.). They received a combined $5,080,538 for 942 students.
Here are the schools and amounts (from the report):
- Al-Huda Academy (Durham): 143 students, $953,295
- Al-Huda Academy at North Raleigh: 19 students, $98,568
- Al-Iman School (Raleigh): 263 students, $1,570,730
- An-Noor School (Raleigh): 57 students, $368,504
- Charlotte Islamic Academy (Charlotte): 169 students, $1,139,070
- Greensboro Islamic Academy (Greensboro): 75 students, $436,734
- Ibn Sina Islamic Academy (Colfax): 31 students, $101,748
- ILIM School (Pineville): 19 students, $106,019
- Madinah Quran Academy (Raleigh): 19 students, $78,355
- Mishkah Academy (Cary): 47 students, $279,673
Additional confirmed Islamic schools (e.g., Intellicor International Academy in Charlotte, an explicitly Islamic school per multiple reports) also received funding in the same year (hundreds of students and ~$1.57 million in one case), and others like American Leadership Academy (ALA) High Point Islamic School participate and accept scholarships. Exact counts beyond name-based identification aren’t officially tallied by religion, but Islamic schools make up a small share (~2% or less of the ~642 participating private schools; the vast majority of religious schools are Christian).
