Montana Tax Credit Scholarships

Direct Your Montana Tax Dollars Toward Educational Opportunity.

The Skola serves as a Montana Student Scholarship Organization (SSO), granting Montana income tax credits in support of need-based scholarships to eligible Montana students. These scholarships are open to students across Montana, not just to those attending The Skola.

The Tax Credit Benefit

Individual and business taxpayers can receive a Montana income tax credit equal to 100% of their qualifying contribution, up to $200,000 per taxpayer, subject to state approval and available statewide credits. Approved credits may be carried forward for up to three years.

How to Participate

1. Express interest. Complete our Scholarship Giving Interest Form or contact ian@theskola.org.

2. Make your contribution. Funds must be received between Jan 1st, 2027 and before approximately Jan 15th, 2027.

3. Provide necessary information. To register your MT tax credit we need name, address (mailing & physical), phone, email, and SSN (personal) or EIN (business).

4. Receive confirmation. Once the MT DOR portal opens, The Skola registers your contribution for a tax credit. Once registered, we provide a tax credit information with the amount and confirmation number needed for your tax return.

NOTE - Statewide credits are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If we are unable to register your credit, we can refund your full contribution.

In 2025–2026, Skola Scholarships SSO supported students at the following schools:

• The Skola

• Sussex School

• Missoula Christian Montessori School.
