Georgia's Education Tax Credit Program

In 2008, Georgia’s lawmakers passed HB 1133, the Education Expense Credit law, to give parents and students better access to more educational opportunities. The law allows:
  • Eligible students to use this scholarship to attend any Georgia private school of their choosing
  • Georgia taxpayers to receive a dollar-for-dollar, state income tax credit for contributions​
In 2018, Georgia's lawmakers passed HB 217 which further strengthened the Education Tax Credit law, increased the size of the fund to $100 million annually and improved the transparency and accountability of SSOs.
