The time is NOW to make your GOAL Scholarship Program Pledge for 2025. Thank you for your GIFT of LOVE and EDUCATION at St Peter Claver Catholic School.
The GOAL Scholarship Program (formerly our GRACE Scholars program) allows individuals and businesses to allocate a portion of their Georgia state income tax dollars to support our school’s mission. Your designated tax dollars become tuition assistance for deserving SPCCS students for whom access to a quality education may otherwise be out of reach. Over 90% of our school families are eligible for GOAL Scholarships!
Through the GOAL Scholarship Program, you can ‘spend’ some of the state income taxes you must pay anyway to the State and use them instead to provide tuition assistance for SPCCS students. For your contribution, you will receive a 100% Georgia income tax credit for the amount of your contribution. See the chart below for the tax credits available to you.
Applications for the 2025 GOAL tax credit should be submitted by December 30 and can be completed in a few minutes at www.goalscholarship.org

To secure your 2025 GOAL tax credit, you must submit your application before the end of 2024. Apply today by visiting www.goalscholarship.org. GOAL will handle all remaining steps in the process until your contribution is due in mid-March 2025, within 60 days following approval by the Georgia Department of Revenue.
The overwhelming success of the GOAL program speaks volumes about its importance. Year after year, demand surpasses the allocated cap of $120 million within the first business day of the year. This leads to proration of all applications, as witnessed in 2024 when applicants received only 63% of their requested amount due to oversubscription. We anticipate a similar scenario for 2025.
Help us make the most of this resource for our deserving students! Be the wind beneath their wings in making a stellar education possible for them. Join us in shaping a brighter future for our students TODAY and watch them transform the whole world TOMORROW.
