The Kentucky Education Fund has officially incorporated as a nonprofit organization to serve as the administering body for the state's upcoming K-12 scholarship tax credit program, which is set to launch in 2027. The initiative is expected to channel private donations into scholarships that families can use to send students to private schools or cover other approved educational expenses, marking a significant expansion of school choice options in the Bluegrass State. The move signals that legislative and administrative groundwork for the program is well underway, positioning Kentucky to join a growing number of states that have adopted similar scholarship tax credit or education savings account frameworks.
