The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is a powerful way for individuals and businesses to positively impact lives by making K-12 education accessible to deserving students who otherwise could not afford it.
By contributing to GOAL, Georgia taxpayers receive a 100% state income tax credit while directly supporting tuition assistance for exceptional students desiring to attend eligible private schools like Sisu.
The program’s popularity speaks volumes about its impact: the $120 million statewide cap is reached on the very first business day each year, resulting in proration. In 2025, for example, applicants were approved for just 53% of their requested credit amount due to overwhelming demand.
Even with proration, taxpayers still receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for the full amount they contribute to GOAL—making this a cost-free way to support their school community and provide life-changing opportunities for students.
Sisu (sÄ“-su) noun – a Finnish concept described through a combination of English terms including inner determination, persistence, grit, bravery, resilience, hardiness and indomitable spirit. Strength and resoluteness in the face of adversity. An action mindset enabling individuals to reach beyond perceived capabilities and take action against all odds.
