America’s
Scholarship Network
AFC Scholarship Fund is the most connected path between donors and students — powered by Odyssey’s national scholarship infrastructure and AFC’s footprint across multiple states — so that every American family can reach the school that’s right for their child.
Built for this moment
by people who’ve done this for decades
For over two decades, the American Federation for Children has worked so that a child’s zip code doesn’t decide the quality of their education. AFC Scholarship Fund carries that work into a new era.
The Education Freedom Tax Credit is the largest opportunity in a generation to put real choice in parents’ hands. We built AFC Scholarship Fund as a network — not a single program in a single state — so the families who need it most can be reached wherever they live.
