Scholarship Granting Organizations in Texas

Texas has not published its list for the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit yet. Below: where the state’s process stands, and the organizations that say they will serve Texas students. Each card opens the organization’s profile page; the green link goes to its own site.

No official §25F list yet. Texas is participating but has not published an application process that we have found. The state’s 2027 list is due to the IRS by Feb 15, 2027. Until an organization is on that list, a gift to it does not earn the federal credit. Last checked Oct 8, 2026.

Where Texas is in the process

  1. Dec 10, 2025 · State opted in

  2. No application process published yet

    We check the state's sources regularly

  3. Feb 15, 2027 · Federal deadline for 2027 state lists (expected)

    Without a list, no organization in the state qualifies for 2027

Getting on Texas’s list

Texas has not published how organizations apply. Under the federal rules the state must list every qualifying organization located in the state that asks, so you can prepare now: the federal requirements are the same in every state.

Nothing on this page is an official §25F approval yet: Texas has not published its list. The organizations shown say they will serve Texas, or run its state program. Under Treasury’s temporary regulations, 2027 state lists are due to the IRS by February 15, 2027, each list must include every qualifying organization located in the state that asks to be on it, and the IRS publishes the combined list on irs.gov. We update this page as states publish. Every state’s list →
