Nevada Choice Scholarship
The Nevada Educational Choice Scholarship Program was created by the Nevada Legislature in 2015. It allows corporations doing business in Nevada to claim 100% of their State of Nevada Modified Business Tax as a tax credit, if the corporation makes a contribution to an approved Scholarship Grant Organization (SGO). The taxpayer can carry forward the credit against their Nevada Modified Business Tax for a period not to exceed five years.
The Scholarship Grant Organizations will provide scholarships to students to attend private schools in the State of Nevada. The maximum scholarship allowed under the law is $7,950 per student. The eligibility of the student receiving a scholarship is also regulated by the law. The student must be a member of a household that has a household income which is not more than 300 percent of the federally designated level signifying poverty shown below.
The Nevada Choice Scholarship was created by Nevada Assembly Bill 165 (AB165). That bill can be found at here.
The Nevada Department of Education also has information about the program on their website here.
