In 2008, Georgia’s elected officials had the remarkable vision to pass the Education Expense Credit law to provide families in our state with access to better educational opportunities for their children. Their legislative leadership resulted in what has been described as the nation’s best education expense credit law. Since inception, the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program has been leading the way in implementing this important legislation through our ethical, transparent and proven approach.

The Georgia GOAL scholarship program associates do not determine the amount of tuition assistance a family is awarded for students meeting the eligibility requirements. To learn more about GOAL you can visit www.goalscholarship.org.

Arete Scholars exists to help economically disadvantaged children reach their highest potential through educational opportunity. Through private contributions from corporate and philanthropic partners, Arete awards need-based K-12 scholarships and empowers parents to place their children in schools that best suit their unique gifts and learning needs.
 

Arete currently operates in Georgia under the state's Tuition Tax Credit Scholarship Program and in Louisiana under the Tuition Donation Rebate Program. Scholarship eligibility is based on the income guidelines for the federal free and reduced lunch program (FRL), and award amounts range from $2,500 to $4,000 per year. Recipients are required to requalify each year.

Arete Scholars

Arete scholarships are based upon private funds. Calvary Day School does not play any role in determining the amount of scholarship funds a family may be awarded.

Our donors are companies and individuals who care about their community and desire the opportunity to partner with AAA Scholarship Foundation for low-income families in an effort to create a brighter future for all of our children.

Each state has individual guidelines determined by the laws of that state and the accountability guidelines of the AAA Scholarship Foundation. Please choose your state to view details on participation. Please contact our office at 888-707-2465 for additional assistance in donating today!

AAA Scholarship

AAA scholarships are based upon private funds. Calvary Day School does not play any role in determining the amount of scholarship funds a family may be awarded.

Calvary Day School is a participating school in the Georgia Promise Scholarship, a statewide program that provides tuition support for eligible K–12 students.
 

Signed into law in 2024 through Senate Bill 233, the Georgia Promise Scholarship Program is designed to empower families to pursue high-quality educational options outside of the public school system, including private schools and home study programs. Eligible families who choose to leave public school, or who elect not to enroll a child in public school as a new kindergartener, may use scholarship funds toward approved educational expenses.
 

Allowable uses of Georgia Promise funds may include:

• Private school tuition and fees
• Required textbooks and curriculum
• Tutoring services
• Certain physician or therapist services
• Transportation services
• Other approved educational expenses, as defined by the program

Eligibility for the Georgia Promise Scholarship is determined entirely by the State of Georgia and is based on specific criteria, including residency within a qualifying public school attendance zone. Because eligibility and award determinations vary by family, we encourage families to review the most up-to-date information directly through the Georgia Promise program.
