💨 Abstract

House Republicans are proposing up to $5 billion annually for scholarships that would allow families to send their children to private or religious schools. This initiative, part of a budget reconciliation bill, supports President Trump’s "universal school choice" agenda. Nearly all households, except the wealthiest, would qualify. The program would be funded by donors who would receive tax discounts, potentially creating a tax shelter. Critics argue this would benefit the wealthy and strain public schools, which most students attend.
