Tuition Scholarship Opportunities
Georgia offers families the opportunity to add to our scholarship fund and receive 100% of your money as a tax credit toward Georgia state income taxes.
What is a Tax Credit?
Unlike a deduction, a tax credit is applied toward your Georgia state income taxes. In other words, your contribution of $2500 will come off your Georgia income taxes dollar for dollar. Families have up to 5 years to exhaust a tax credit in Georgia.
Scholarship Fund
Support the St. Paul scholarship fund through the Georgia School Scholarship Organization (GaSSO). The St. Paul scholarship fund helps families now and in the future.
Are Scholarships Available?
Yes. Families may apply for a scholarship between February 1 and April 30 (or until funds are exhausted) for the coming school year.
What is the Maximum Amount Someone Can Donate Through GaSSO in Exchange for a Georgia Education Expense Tax Credit?
This is based on Tax filing status. New pledge amounts:
- Individual: $2,500
- Married Filing Jointly: $5,000
- Married Filing Separately: $2,500
- S-Corps/LLCs: $25,000
When Should I Participate?
You should pledge right away and pledge the maximum amount allowed. You do not have to fund the entire pledge. Once the cap is reached for the pledge total, you will not be able to pledge support (a pledge must precede the donation).
What if a Friend or Family Member Participates?
Please encourage friends and family to support the St. Paul scholarship fund and save on their taxes.
