Participating programs

Programs PSC administers in Montana

Program pages are operated on behalf of the identified participating Scholarship Granting Organization. The SGO retains custody of contributions and sole authority over scholarship awards.

No program pages are live in Montana yet

PSC publishes a program page once a participating organization is onboarded and the state process supports it. Organizations preparing to operate in Montana can begin a readiness assessment now.

Next steps

What to do while Montana is at this stage

Plan ahead

Donors

Use the estimator to model a potential credit, then wait for confirmation that the state participates and the receiving organization appears on the state’s list.
Get ready

Families

Complete the eligibility screener and gather household documentation so an application can be submitted quickly once a program opens.
Prepare

Organizations

Run the readiness assessment to identify the governance, accounting, and reporting work required before a state list submission.
Organizations

Request SGO readiness support in Montana

Tell PSC where your organization stands today. We tailor next steps to Montana's recorded participation stage — this request does not create a contribution, application, or scholarship commitment.

For example: exploring, forming, applying to the state list, or already listed.

Support needed

The Education Freedom Tax Credit creates the opportunity. Scholarship Granting Organizations administer the scholarships. PSC provides the infrastructure that helps those organizations operate.
