Student Scholarship Organization
(SSO)
In May of 2008, Gov. Perdue signed HB1133 into law.
This allows Georgia taxpayers to direct their tax
dollars to private schools. It also gives private
schools an opportunity to offer scholarships to
students. We are excited to be working with
Georgia
Student Scholarship, Inc. (GASSO). This program
allows a donor to receive a dollar for dollar tax credit
(up to $2,500 for married filing jointly) on
GA state
taxes and a federal tax deduction.
So far, almost $80,000 in scholarships
have been awarded to GCS students. Thank you to all who
redirected their state tax dollars to fund these
scholarships! This program allows a donor to receive a
dollar for dollar tax credit (up to $2,500 for married
filing jointly) on
GA state
taxes as well as a federal tax deduction. We
encourage more people to participate which allows more
students the opportunity to receive scholarships.
