Scored by MediaBias News; method at https://mediabias.news/methodology. **The short version** - New York will opt into a federal scholarship tax credit program on January 1. - Taxpayers can receive federal credits for donations to nonprofit scholarship-granting organizations. - Individual taxpayers can receive up to $1,700, and married couples filing jointly up to $3,400. - Teachers unions and some elected officials oppose the program, fearing it will divert funds from public schools. New York will join a federal scholarship tax credit program beginning January 1, 2027. The program allows taxpayers to receive a federal tax credit for donating to nonprofit organizations that provide scholarships for education-related expenses. Governor Kathy Hochul announced the state's decision to opt into the program, which requires states to participate for their taxpayers to be eligible for the federal credit. Under the program, individuals can receive a tax credit of up to $1,700, and married couples filing jointly can receive up to $3,400. The scholarships can be used for families attending public, private, or religious schools. Governor Hochul stated that the program could bring millions of dollars to New York students and families without impacting public schools or state budgets. ## Disagreement on program origin Gothamist, nytimespost.com, WVII / Fox Bangor, democraticaccent.com, Fox News, Lodinews.com, and Chalkbeat refer to the program as President Donald Trump's or "Trump's school choice program." The Tablet and Jewish News Syndicate do not mention Trump in relation to the program's origin, referring to it as a "federal scholarship tax credit program." ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated or centre-rated reports mention the potential figure of $1.5 billion in funds that could be directed to New York, as reported by Jewish News Syndicate and Cleveland Jewish News. None of the left-rated reports mention the specific figure of 2.7 million students who could benefit, as reported by the New York Post. ## Who covered it Shares of the 18 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 22% (4) - Centre: 11% (2) - Right: 67% (12) 4 of 22 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-10-13T05:00:16.910964+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 111 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-10-13T05:45:07.764Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left - Reports from the left led on Governor Hochul's decision to join the program despite opposition from teachers unions and elected officials. Gothamist and Lodinews.com highlighted that New York will opt into "Trump's school choice program." Gothamist quoted Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers, accusing Hochul of "a failure of leadership," and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, who had lobbied against the program. Gothamist also noted the NAACP's opposition, stating the program "will deepen educational inequities and segregation." Chalkbeat reported that Hochul "breaks with teachers unions to embrace GOP-backed education tax credit." ### Centre - The centre-rated report from The Tablet focused on the praise for Governor Hochul's decision from New York's Catholic bishops. The article quoted a statement from the New York State Conference of Catholic Bishops saying the program "empower[s] New York families to provide the best education for their children, regardless of income, or where they choose to send their children to school, at no additional cost to the state." The report also quoted Dr. Steven F. Cheeseman, president and CEO of the National Catholic Educational Association, who said the program "opens the door" to new resources for families. ### Right - Reports from the right highlighted Governor Hochul's decision to join the federal scholarship tax credit program, often referring to it as "Trump's school choice program" or "education freedom" scholarships. Many digests from right-rated outlets, including Patriot Journal, Jewish News Syndicate, Cleveland Jewish News, nytimespost.com, WVII / Fox Bangor, democraticaccent.com, Fox News, Lodinews.com, Jewish Insider, New York Post, VINnews, and wfmd.com, focused on this aspect. Jewish News Syndicate and Cleveland Jewish News included a quote from Sydney Altfield of the Orthodox Union stating, "For Jewish families, this means the chance to give their children an education rooted in who they are, without being priced out." The New York Post reported the program could benefit more than 2.7 million New York students. **Provisional coverage gap:** left.
