Mississippi families stand to benefit enormously from the new Federal Education Scholarship Tax Credit Program, but only if Governor Tate Reeves chooses to opt the state in. This program, passed as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill, allows students to receive scholarship support at no cost to the state. All funding comes from voluntary federal-level tax credit donations, meaning there are no new state mandates and no impact on Mississippi’s budget. By opting in, Mississippi could expand educational opportunities for working- and middle-class families, support parents’ rights, and strengthen Christian, private, and public schools statewide. Governor Reeves’s leadership has consistently supported parental choice, educational freedom, and strong faith-based schools. This is a chance for Mississippi to continue leading, ensuring that families here have the same opportunities as families in states already opting in.
