We investigate the formation of neutral and singly ionized scandium lines in the solar photospheres. Extensive statistical equilibrium calculations were carried out for a model atom, which comprises 92 terms for Sc I and 79 for Sc II. Synthetic line profiles calculated from the level populations according to the NLTE departure coefficients were compared with the observed solar spectral atlas. Abundance determinations using the ODF model lead to a solar Sc abundance of between log ϵ⊙ = 3.07 and 3.13, depending on the choice of f values.
