How to read this table

  • Amounts are per student per year unless the program says otherwise. Arizona's are the program's approximate 2025-26 figures, its most recent published chart.
  • Florida publishes averages; Missouri, Montana and New Hampshire don't publish a single figure, so we show how the amount is set.
  • “Opted in” means the state is on the IRS list for the federal scholarship tax credit that starts January 1, 2027.
  • Not sure which program fits your child? Try the program finder. Need dates? See deadlines.
