AIMS & the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit
Brookhaven Academy is excited to introduce our community to AIMS and the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit. Beginning January 1, 2027, this program will allow eligible taxpayers to support student scholarships through qualifying contributions to approved Scholarship Granting Organizations.
We are currently sharing information to help families and supporters understand the program and prepare for participation.
How does it work?
Eligible taxpayers make a qualifying cash contribution to an approved Scholarship Granting Organization, which uses those funds to award scholarships to eligible K–12 students.
Contributors may receive a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit. When contributing through AIMS, you can select Brookhaven Academy as your preferred school to help provide scholarship dollars for eligible BA students.
• Up to $1,700 per individual annually.
• Up to $3,400 for married couples filing jointly when each spouse makes a qualifying contribution.
A tax credit reduces federal income tax owed. This credit is nonrefundable, and unused amounts generally may be carried forward for up to five years.
For families
Scholarships may help eligible families pay for tuition and other qualifying K–12 educational expenses.
Scholarship eligibility is separate from donor eligibility. Receiving a scholarship is not automatic, and making a contribution does not guarantee a scholarship for your child.
Brookhaven Academy will share application dates, eligibility information, required documentation, and next steps as details are confirmed.
