North Dakota has no state education savings account, voucher, tax-credit scholarship, K-12 education expense credit, or state payment to homeschool families. A 2025 education savings account bill (HB 1540), which would not have covered homeschool students, was vetoed. Local scholarships, tax deductions or district programs may still exist; tell us if you know of one.
