Georgia Promise Scholarship

Applicants may check potential student eligibility using the new pre-screening tool available at mygeorgiapromise.org.​
 
Who Qualifies? 
 
To qualify for a Promise Scholarship Account for HCCA, students must meet certain criteria:
  • – Parents must be Georgia residents.
  • – The student must be enrolled in a qualifying school 
  • – The student may be entering pre-kindergarten or kindergarten.
  • – Once eligible, a child remains eligible through 12th grade. 
  • – The student cannot be enrolled in a local school system, charter school, or state charter school while participating in the scholarship program.
  • – Parents must agree to use accounts only for qualifying education expenses.
  •  
Priority will be given to students whose parents earn less than 400% of the federal poverty line (about $120,000 a year for a family of four in 2024); however, this is not a requirement to qualify. 
The Georgia Promise Scholarships will be open for the 2025-26 academic year. However, the scholarship program has a 10-year expiration date, which means that it will sunset on June 30, 2035

Support Our School Through GOAL

Georgia GOAL: Support Our School with Your Tax Dollars

What if you could decide where your state tax dollars go and support our school community at the same time? Amazingly, you are empowered to do so by redirecting your state income taxes through the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program.

This program is a win-win! You fulfill your state tax obligation while supporting opportunities for families seeking an education aligned with their values and goals. Your participation helps expand access to exceptional educational experiences while strengthening the long-term impact of the school’s mission for current and future families.

Here’s how it works:

When you contribute to GOAL, the State of Georgia provides you with a 100% income tax credit. These funds are then used to provide financial aid to eligible students who wish to join our school community.

Tax credit contribution limits for 2027 are as follows:

· Single Filer – up to $2,500

· Married Separate Filer – up to $2,500

· Married Joint Filer – up to $5,000

· Individual Pass-Through Owner – up to $25,000

· C Corp, Trust, or Electing Pass-Through – up to 75% of annual tax liability

· Business that pays insurance premium tax – 75% of annual tax liability, but credit shall not exceed $1 million

This program is in high demand. In fact, in 2026, taxpayer demand outpaced the statewide cap on the first day, resulting in participants receiving only 48% of their requested credit. Thanks to a $30 million cap increase enacted by Georgia’s elected officials this legislative session, we anticipate the 2027 proration could perhaps be closer to 70%, allowing you to expand the opportunity for our school!

To secure your 2027 tax credit, submit your application today at https://www.goalscholarship.org/. Once approved by the Georgia Department of Revenue, you will have until mid-March 2027 to make your contribution. GOAL handles the rest, making the process simple and seamless.

Your participation helps sustain the strength of our school, broadens access for families seeking the best educational environment for their children, and reflects the kind of intentional, values-driven choice that makes our community thrive.

Coming Soon:

We are excited to share that, beginning in 2027, our school will participate in American GOAL, a new federal tax credit opportunity operated by GOAL Scholarship Program, Inc. This powerful program gives you a voice in how your federal tax dollars are spent and literally keeps them local to Georgia. Be on the lookout for more information about this exciting new program.

Arete Scholars Fund

Who is eligible for the Arete Fund? Students entering either K4, K5 or 1st grade, students who attended a public school for at least one full grading period during the most recent school year, and students who received a Georgia tuition tax credit scholarship from any state approved Student Scholarship Organization (SSO) in the previous year. In addition, to receive a full scholarship, families must meet the income guidelines for the federal free and reduced lunch program. 
 
What is the amount awarded? Arete sets the scholarship amounts each year, based on funding and state limits. The scholarships are awarded on a sliding scale based on your income. Funding for the award begins on the day your scholarship is awarded, the first day of school, or the student’s first day of private school, whichever is later. The maximum scholarship is currently $4,000, based on income and available funding. 
 
What does the scholarship cover? The scholarship covers tuition, books, registration, transportation, uniforms, testing and other fees, in that order until the maximum award is reached. All covered services or goods must be offered directly from and paid to the school chosen. 
 
To qualify for a scholarship in Georgia for 2025-26, your child must meet ONE of criteria 1-3 below PLUS number 4.
