Description
Peachtree Academy would like to invite you to our informational Lunch & Learn so you can understand how our GOAL Scholarship system operates. Georgia is one of several states in the nation that has an education tax credit law, which allows you to contribute funds to be used for financial aid at our school, and to receive a 100% credit for that contribution when you file your Georgia income taxes. In other words, the state of Georgia is allowing you to ‘spend’ some of the taxes you must pay anyway in order to provide funds for deserving students to attend our school.
By contributing to Georgia GOAL – our partner student scholarship organization – you will have a critical, positive impact on our school community by maximizing our available financial aid. This also means that your Annual Fund dollars can go further in meeting other critical school needs.
·The GOAL Program has strengthened our school in countless ways.
o Enrollment is higher than ever and we want to add more students to our outstanding school.
o Higher enrollment leads to more tuition income which keeps your cost lower.
o With steady enrollment and tuition income, our school is able to:
§ Continue to improve the quality education and other offerings that you desire for your children
§ Keep your tuition rates from increasing as much as they would without this valuable program
§ Preserve more of our existing financial aid budget to assist families already enrolled
Important Point: This program is so popular and so successful that our state legislature nearly doubled it this year, increasing the available education tax credits from $58 million to $100 million per year. Georgia’s elected officials have recognized the amazing value in allowing taxpayers to direct their tax dollars toward improving K-12 education, and in allowing parents to choose the schools that best meet their children’s needs.
Join us to learn how you can contribute to this wonderful scholarship oppurtunity.
