GA Goal

If you pay Georgia Income Tax, then you can provide a GOAL scholarship for students at Lafayette Christian School at no cost to you.

Why doesn’t the scholarship cost me anything?

You get a 100% tax credit when you enroll in Georgia Goal. Which means, you either pay that much less in taxes, or get that much of an increase in your refund.

Tax Credit Limits Based on Filing Status
Single individual or head of household $2,500
Married couple filing a joint return $5,000
Married Individual filing a separate return $2,500
S corporation shareholder, LLC, or partnership partner $25,000
C corporation or Trust – up to 75% of annual Georgia income tax liability.
