Homeschool Tax Deductions and Credits in Delaware
No. Delaware has no homeschool tax credit, deduction, education savings account, or voucher, and the Department of Education provides no funding for nonpublic schools, homeschools included.
What families pay for
Delaware treats a homeschool as a nonpublic school, and the family pays for curriculum, materials, and any testing. The Department of Education does not give state assessments to nonpublic school students or pay for tests; a homeschooled student can register privately for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and Advanced Placement exams.
A few things cost nothing. Registering a homeschool with the department is free, and a homeschooled student is entitled to one free driver education course through an adult education program, though some programs charge a small registration fee.
The largest state aid comes after high school. The Student Excellence Equals Degree (SEED) scholarship pays tuition at Delaware Technical Community College for a graduate with at least a 2.5 grade point average, and the Inspire Scholarship at Delaware State University asks for 2.75. Each college sets its own standards for homeschooled applicants, and the student must be registered with a public or nonpublic school at graduation.
