Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program
Give the gift of a Waldorf education.
The Georgia GOAL program allows Georgia taxpayers to redirect a portion of their state income tax to provide financial aid for eligible students to attend The Waldorf School of Atlanta. Contributions to Georgia GOAL, our partner Student Scholarship Organization (SSO), result in a 100% state income tax credit!
This proven opportunity is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, financial aid recipients, and our school community. By simply contributing to Georgia GOAL for a 100% Georgia income tax credit, you help maximize a significant source of financial aid for deserving families desiring a GAC education.

By contributing to Georgia GOAL for a tax credit and designating that the dollars be used at our school, you will provide opportunities for families desiring to attend WSA. Our school is then able to:
Allows students who otherwise could not afford the full WSA tuition to attend WSA and receive a Waldorf education
All students benefit when WSA receives funds through GA Goal. These funds directly offset the budgeted amount for financial aid which allows for a greater amount of the operating budget to be used for the needs of all students
Preserve more of our existing financial aid to assist families already enrolled
Increase the funds available to improve educational and other offerings
