On June 26, 2008, the Georgia Department of Education listed Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, Inc. as a student scholarship organization that is approved to accept contributions and offer K-12 scholarships.
A list of the private schools participating in the Georgia GOAL Scholarship is available here.
Parents or guardians who are interested in applying for a GOAL Scholarship for their child should contact the private school in which they intend to enroll their child. In granting GOAL Scholarships, GOAL Scholarship Program officials will be working very closely with existing private school financial aid offices or scholarship committees. At the appropriate time during the private school’s financial aid review process, private school officials and the parents or guardians of the student hoping to transfer from a public school should complete the GOAL Scholarship Application that the GOAL Scholarship Program has provided to the private school. The private school will then send GOAL officials the completed application along with the recommended scholarship award based on household income, family size, and, if applicable, the amount of available GOAL Scholarship funds that have been designated by donors to GOAL for use at the private school. Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program officials will review the submitted application and scholarship recommendation and either approve, reject, or modify the GOAL Scholarship award recommended by the private school. The private school is responsible for initiating the application process on behalf of a family seeking a GOAL Scholarship. The GOAL Scholarship Program will not accept GOAL Scholarship applications directly from individual parents or guardians.
