Education funding in Wyoming
2 programs in Wyoming, 1 open to homeschoolers. Each links to the program’s official sources.
Wyoming Education Savings Account (Steamboat Legacy Scholarship)
Homeschoolers can qualify Last updated October 17, 2026 Track it in My Homeschool
Yes. The state FAQ says the account can be used for a child learning through home-based education, and covers textbooks, curriculum and tutoring. The child cannot be enrolled in public school, and parents must provide core-subject instruction and have the child assessed. The amount is $7,000 a year.
Federal Scholarship Tax Credit (Educational Choice for Children Act) - state participation
Program doesn’t say whether homeschoolers qualify From official sources October 7, 2026 Not open yet
Federal law defines covered expenses by reference to 26 U.S.C. 530(b)(3)(A), which lists tuition, tutoring, books, supplies and similar costs tied to attending "a public, private, or religious school." The October 2026 proposed IRS rules do not address homeschool expenses, so whether homeschool costs qualify is not settled in official sources.
Dates and status: Wyoming is on the IRS list of states that made an advance election to participate for 2027. Donors may claim a federal credit of up to $1,700 for contributions beginning Jan. 1, 2027.
