Enhancing Education for a better Georgia

The Georgia Public Education Scholarship Fund helps make more opportunities possible for public school students in Georgia by providing scholarships for educational programs and experiences. 

 

A new federal tax credit allows you to help expand access for students while receiving a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit.

Why Donate?

The Georgia Public Education Scholarship Fund allows you to redirect your federal tax dollars to directly support Georgia’s public school students. The results create more opportunities for students to access educational opportunities that enrich their education and drive their future success.

Launching in 2027

The Georgia Public Education Scholarship Fund Tax Credit will launch January 1, 2027. 

We know there are countless people across this state that care about public education and helping to make educational opportunities more accessible to all students. That’s why we’re partnering with participating public school districts and taxpayers to administer scholarships made possible through federal education tax credits. Connecting taxpayers with participating schools helps make a real difference in the life of students across Georgia.
