What exists in Alaska

State programNo state program pays private school tuition
What families can use insteadNo Alaska program pays tuition for a student enrolled full time in a private school. Students enrolled in a public school district’s correspondence (homeschool) program get an allotment that parents can spend on approved nonsectarian services and materials, including some from private organizations, under a learning plan approved by a district teacher.
Help payingCorrespondence allotments pay for district-approved services and materials, not for full-time private school enrollment.
Coming upThere is no state application for private school students. Correspondence allotments go through the district program you enroll in.
Federal tax credit, 2027Alaska is on the IRS list of states that opted in to the federal scholarship tax credit (as of September 14, 2026), so scholarship organizations here can take federally credited gifts from January 2027.

Worth knowing: Whether correspondence allotments may pay private school tuition is still in court. The Alaska Supreme Court ruled in March 2025 that the allotment law is not unconstitutional on its face but did not decide the tuition question, and the case (Alexander v. DEED) continues in superior court with no ruling found as of October 1, 2026.

We read this on from: Alaska Statutes 14.03.300 to 14.03.310 (correspondence allotments); Alaska Supreme Court, Opinion No. 7759, March 28, 2025; Office of the Governor, August 20, 2026, scholarship organization applications; IRS, participating states for 2027 (as of September 14, 2026); Alaska Department of Education, private schools. Rules change when the legislature meets, so check the official program site before you count on a number.
