In 2024, the Georgia General Assembly passed Senate Bill 233 and enacted the Georgia Promise Scholarship Act.
The program will provide eligible students with the opportunity to use public funds for non-public education expenses in grades Kindergarten through 12th. Eligible uses include private school tuition, tutoring services, and other qualified education expenses.
The Promise Scholarship Program is currently in development. For more information, visit MyGeorgiaPromise.org.
Please see the attached guide that has been assembled to support Georgia’s eligible students and families with the Georgia Promise Scholarship, the State’s new education savings account program. Signed into law in 2024 through Senate Bill 233, the Georgia Promise Scholarship Program is aimed to empower families to pursue exceptional educational programs through nonpublic schooling, including private school and home study. Should eligible families choose to leave public school (or forgo attending as a new kindergartner) to participate, the Georgia Promise Scholarship will allow families to use funds for private school tuition and fees, required textbooks, tutoring services, curriculum, physician/therapist services, transportation services, and other approved expenses. The accompanying handbook will provide more information about the Promise Scholarship’s structure, eligibility requirements, and timeline for the 2025-2026 school year. Thank you for your interest and support of the Georgia Promise Scholarship Program.
