If you owe Oklahoma state income tax, you can redirect up to 75% of it — at little to no out-of-pocket cost to you — into private school scholarships for Oklahoma kids through Oklahoma Partners in Academics (OPA) Scholarship Fund, an Oklahoma Tax Commission-approved Scholarship Granting Organization.
The Oklahoma Equal Opportunity Education Scholarship Act makes it straightforward for donors to fund student scholarships while receiving a major state tax credit.
Donate to OPA Scholarship Fund, an approved SGO under the Oklahoma Equal Opportunity Education Scholarship Act. Both individuals and businesses are eligible to participate.
Claim an Oklahoma state income tax credit of 50–75% of your contribution. Your CPA applies the credit against your Oklahoma tax liability — reducing what you owe dollar for dollar.
Your donation funds private school scholarships for income-qualifying Oklahoma students. Funds are paid directly to participating accredited private schools on behalf of scholarship recipients.
OPA Scholarship Fund — Oklahoma Partners in Academics — is an Owasso-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organized to provide scholarships to eligible Oklahoma students at qualifying private schools statewide. We are approved by the Oklahoma Tax Commission as a Scholarship Granting Organization under 68 Okla. Stat. § 2357.206.
We started with one school's community and grew into a statewide partnership — because every Oklahoma kid deserves a shot at the school that fits them best, regardless of their family's finances.
OPA Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to income-qualifying Oklahoma students to attend participating private accredited schools.
Scholarships are awarded to Oklahoma students from households meeting income eligibility requirements under state law, with priority given to students at or below the free/reduced lunch threshold.
Standard scholarships of up to $8,000 per student annually are available, with awards up to $25,000 per year for students with qualifying special needs. Funds are paid directly to the school.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, year-round. Awards are based on financial need, academic standing, and personal statement. Scholarships are non-renewable and must be reapplied for each year.
Your donation does double duty — it funds scholarships for deserving students while earning you a meaningful Oklahoma tax credit. Contact us today to learn how to get started.
