Georgia Tax Credit Scholarships

Apogee Scholarship Fund

Support Montessori Kids Academy through the Apogee Scholarship Fund

In 2008 the Georgia Generally Assembly passed House Bill 1133, allowing individuals and corporations to receive a Georgia income tax credit (and federal income tax deduction for those who itemize) for redirecting their state income tax payments to the Apogee Scholarship Fund.

Apogee uses these contributions to provide private school scholarships to students who are automatically eligible to enroll in PreK, kindergarten, first grade or who are transferring from a Georgia public school.

This helps you lower out of pocket tuition. Eligibility

You are already paying income taxes to the state. Why not redirect some of those taxes to provide Georgia children with the Apogee Scholarship Fund? When you redirect your Georgia state taxes to Apogee, you can designate that the contribution be used to provide scholarships at Montessori Kids Academy. Thus, MKA is able to:

  • Increase the financial aid that it can offer new students
  • Increase school enrollment
  • Increase the funds available to improve educational offerings
