ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund Welcomes Promising Preview of Federal Tax Credit Rules June 11, 2026

The Association of Christian Schools International Children’s Tuition Fund is encouraged by a recent preview of forthcoming federal rules and regulations related to the new federal tax credit scholarship opportunity, expected to take effect January 1, 2027.

The preview offers early insight into how Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) may operate under the program. It also indicates that religious K–12 schools would be included among eligible schools, consistent with state law.

For ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund, the preview represents a promising step toward helping more children access Christ-centered education through expanded scholarship opportunities. The preview also confirms that the ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund meets the requirements to operate a national program across all 50 states.

“For more than 20 years, ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund has helped families access Christ-centered education through scholarships,” said Temple Weiss, president of the ACSI Education Foundation and Children’s Tuition Fund.  “Today, we stand mission-ready and compliance-ready to serve schools and families nationwide.  We are inspired by the opportunity to help even more students experience the life-changing impact of Christ-centered education.”

ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund is encouraged that the preview appears to balance broad educational opportunity with meaningful accountability. As a school-first SGO, CTF will help member schools understand the federal rules and regulations preview and its potential implications during an upcoming webinar.
