Athens Christian School partners with GOAL Scholarship!


Under an exciting new state law passed July 1st, 2008, you can redirect a portion of your Georgia income tax payments (up to $2500) to provide scholarship assistance to incoming ACS students! To enable our supporters to take advantage of this program, Athens Christian School has partnered with the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program, a state-approved student scholarship organization.
The best part is that you are not affecting your budget in any way; you are donating money to GOAL (with Athens Christian School as your designated recipient) that you were going to give to the state government in taxes anyway!  This is a $1 for $1 state income tax credit.
To learn all of the details about the new law, the process for pre-qualifying and making your contributions, and the GOAL Scholarship Program, we invite you to visit the GOAL website at www.goalscholarship.org or you may also contact the Athens Christian School business office.
Form IT-QEE-TP1 for pre-qualifying to make contribution can be found by clicking here.
