Financial support
Homeschool funding in Nevada
Our check of official sources found no state funding, scholarship, education savings account or tax program that homeschooling families in Nevada can use.
Programs that don’t cover homeschooling
You cannot use Nevada’s State Opportunity Scholarship for homeschooling because it funds attendance at participating licensed private schools.
Good to know
You should not assume your homeschooled child qualifies for Nevada’s federal tax credit scholarships from these pages.
You must apply directly to a Scholarship Grant Organization rather than Nevada’s Department of Education for these scholarships.
