Pay it Forward Scholarships provides scholarships for private pre-K through 12th grade students to attend any accredited private school in Georgia.

Our mission is to give parents the freedom to choose the best educational environment for their child.

Student Scholarships

The Georgia Qualified Education Expense Tax Credits fund student scholarships at private schools across the state of Georgia. Parents apply for their student to receive the Pay it Forward Scholarship.

Georgia’s Qualified Education Expense Tax Credits

Each year Pay it Forward Scholarships has access to $120 million dollars in Qualified Education Expense (QEE) Tax Credits to distribute to Georgia taxpayers who donate a scholarship to any private Pre-K through 12 school of their choice in Georgia. Taxpayers receive a dollar-for-dollar GA QEE Tax Credit.

School Partnerships

Pay it Forward Scholarships partners with schools to provide scholarships for students! The good news is that as an approved student scholarship organization, we are responsible for doing ALL the scholarship administration! Partnering with us isn’t going to add a lot of additional work for school administrators.
