Education funding in Delaware
1 program in Delaware, checked against the program’s official sources.
Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (Educational Choice for Children Act) - state participation
Program doesn’t say whether homeschoolers qualify From official sources October 7, 2026
Scholarships under the federal credit pay for "qualified elementary and secondary education expenses," which federal law ties to a student's enrollment or attendance "at a public, private, or religious school." The law does not mention homeschooling, so whether homeschool costs qualify is not settled in the official text.
Dates and status: Delaware is not on the IRS list of states that have elected to participate for 2027 (page updated Sept. 16, 2026). No official decision from Governor Meyer has been published; a state representative sent the Governor a letter on Aug. 17, 2026 asking him to opt in. A state may still elect, so this could change.

Local scholarships, tax deductions or district programs may still exist; tell us if you know of one.
