Listings reflect organizations operating under South Carolina’s tax-credit scholarship program and/or national networks; this is not an official federal designation. No state has published its certified §25F SGO list yet, those rosters are due to the U.S. Treasury before the credit goes live on January 1, 2027, and this directory will be updated as each state certifies.
