The GOAL Program is a remarkable and important opportunity provided to Georgians by our elected officials.

In exchange for contributions to Georgia GOAL, our partner Student Scholarship Organization, taxpayers receive a 100% state income tax credit!

This is a proven opportunity that is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our school community. By simply contributing to Georgia GOAL for a 100% Georgia income tax credit – in other words, by contributing with dollars you must spend anyway – you will help maximize financial aid for deserving families desiring to receive an LCA education.

We would like to help clarify any questions you may have regarding this great opportunity and make sure you are aware of certain deadlines throughout the year. Please review the FAQs below, go to the GOAL Scholarship website or email Stephanie Wilson.

Thank you in advance for creating opportunities for new students!
