To qualify for the American Opportunity Credit, the student:

  • Has not completed the first four years of post-secondary education.
  • Enrolls in at least one academic semester during the applicable tax year.
  • Maintains at least half-time status in a program leading to a degree or other credential.
  • If the student has ever been a state or federal criminal because of a drug conviction, then he/she isn’t eligible for the tax credit.
