Federal Scholarship Tax Credit · For schools
Your Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) uses Odyssey to run its Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program. Use the invitation your SGO emailed you to register your school, add your team and get ready for scholarships.
School onboarding opens November 16, 2026.
Donations open January 1, 2027. Registering now means you’re ready when funds start moving.
The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (FSTC) is the first national school choice program. Starting January 1, 2027, individuals can receive a federal tax credit for donations to approved SGOs. SGOs then award scholarships to eligible students to help cover qualified education expenses, including tuition at your school.
Donors can claim a credit of up to $1,700, or $3,400 for married couples filing jointly.
Your SGO sets the rules for its program and decides on scholarships. Odyssey provides the platform your SGO runs on: school registration, donations, applications and payments to your school.
