GOAL SCHOLARSHIP

In 2008, the Georgia General Assembly passed the Qualified Education Expense (QEE) Tax Credit bill (HB 1133), and Governor Sonny Perdue signed it into law. The legislation was further amended in 2011 (HB 325), 2013 (HB 283), 2018 (HB 217), and 2022 (HB 517). The law provides for the creation of student scholarship organizations (SSOs) to which Georgia individual and corporate taxpayers can contribute in exchange for a state income tax credit. The SSOs use the contributions to award scholarships to students from K-12 public schools so that they can attend the private schools chosen by their parents.
