Georgia GOAL

You are already paying income taxes to the state. Why not redirect some of those taxes to provide tuition assistance to financially eligible St. Luke School students? 

Since 2013, St. Luke School has partnered with the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, a Student Scholarship Organization (SSO) created through the Georgia Education Expense Tax Credit Program. This program enables Georgia residents, corporations, trusts, LLCs, and partnerships the opportunity to designate a portion of their state tax liability to the school’s financial aid program. There is virtually no cost to participate, but it has a tremendous impact on St. Luke School’s ability to provide financial aid to students in need. Many thanks to those who have participated in the GOAL program! We are deeply grateful for the additional financial aid support this program provides St. Luke School each year. 

Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program – Submit your 2022 GOAL Tax Credit Application today!

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 a St. Luke School education.

Tax Credit Limits Based on Filing Status

  • Single individual or head of household – up to $1,000
  • Married couple filing a joint return – up to $2,500
  • Married couple filing separate returns – up to $1,250
  • S corporation shareholder, LLC member, or partnership partner – up to $10,000
  • NEW Opportunity for 2022: S corporation, LLC, or partnership that elects to pay tax at the entity level – up to 75% of Georgia income tax liability
  • C corporation or Trust – up to 75% of annual Georgia income tax liability
