What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Wyoming established the Education Freedom Tax Credit, and Governor Mark Gordon opted into President Donald Trump’s federal tax-credit scholarship program. The Wyoming Department of Education began accepting applications from nonprofits seeking to participate as qualified Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) under the program. These organizations will distribute scholarships for K-12 education expenses, such as tuition and tutoring, starting January 1, 2027, if approved.
