New York will join a federal scholarship tax credit program, becoming the 30th state to participate. Governor Kathy Hochul's office confirmed the intention to opt in, a move praised by U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon. The program allows taxpayers to receive a federal income tax credit for donations to organizations that provide scholarships for private tuition and educational services. This decision marks a significant policy shift for New York.
