Georgia Parents
The Georgia Private School Tax Credit Law (O.C.G.A. § 20-2A-1 through § 20-2A-7) allows student scholarship organizations (SSOs) to provide scholarships for eligible students to attend accredited private schools.
AAA Scholarship Foundation is a state approved student scholarship organization (SSO). AAA will be awarding scholarships of up to $9,000 per student for the 2025-2026 school year. These scholarships will help the families of renewing and waitlisted students pay for tuition, books and fees at eligible private schools (up to grade 12).
