Georgia Special Scholarship (SB10/SB47)

Under a state law passed by the Georgia State Legislature, parents of students who receive special education services may request to transfer their child to another public or private school in Georgia provided that their child has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or a Section 504 Plan and has been enrolled for a full academic year in a Georgia public school.

Parents who are interested in transferring their child to a private school in Georgia may be able to take advantage of a Georgia Special Scholarship.  These scholarships provide funding that can be used to offset tuition costs at participating private schools in the state of Georgia.  In order to be eligible to receive the scholarship, a student must be in attendance at an authorized private school for the Fall.  There are no exceptions to this deadline.
