Many families are called to provide a faith-filled Catholic education for their children. Through the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program – and the charity and generosity of the Saint Jude community – we help ensure that a Saint Jude education remains available, accessible, and affordable to families who have demonstrated financial need.
The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is a remarkable initiative that enables individuals and businesses to help deserving students access quality K-12 education that may otherwise be out of reach. In 2026, 127 contributors provided more than $225,000 in scholarships, giving 22 students the opportunity to receive a Catholic education right here at Saint Jude!
All Georgia taxpayers are eligible to receive a 100% state income tax credit in exchange for their contributions to Georgia GOAL. Funds raised through GOAL are used to provide tuition assistance for exceptional students desiring to attend Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic School.
The overwhelming success of the GOAL program speaks volumes about its importance. Year after year, demand surpasses the allocated cap of $150 million within the first business day of the year. This leads to proration of all applications. GA GOAL anticipates the proration for 2027 will range from 60-70% of the requested amount.
Tax credit limits based upon taxpayer filing status are as follows:
Single Filer – up to $2,500
Married Separate Filer – up to $2,500
Married Joint Filer – up to $5,000
Individual Pass-Through Owner – up to $25,000
C Corp, Trust, or Electing Pass-Through – up to 75% of annual tax liability
To secure your 2027 GOAL tax credit, you must submit your application before the end of 2026. Apply today by visiting www.goalscholarship.org. GOAL will handle all remaining steps in the process until your contribution is due in mid-March 2027, within 60 days following approval by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
Help Saint Jude make the most of this winning program and let’s make every GOAL count! Your participation empowers students to receive an excellent Catholic education by supporting families in choosing the best educational environment for their children, and strengthens the well-being of our school community.
