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
