Once a student qualifies in any category for a scholarship, they remain qualified for their entire school career.

How to Estimate the Scholarship Amount
Your student will receive an equal share of the scholarship funds donated to your school in a given year. For example, if we have $10,000 in scholarship funds for your school and there are 10 approved students, then each student receives a $1,000 scholarship.
Income Limitations
Scholarships have caps based on the maximum amount published annually by the Georgia Department of Education ($12,857 for 2024) as well as a household’s net taxable income
- Under $30,000 = maximum of 100% of tuition and fees
