The NWG Scholars Program is an initiative of the Georgia Tuition Tax Credit Scholarship Program (GA HB 1133), a scholarship program designed to help families in Georgia obtain the best education for their children and doing so by allowing the parents to choose the school that best suits their child(ren).

Under this program, some corporations that owe Georgia corporate income tax can redirect up to 75% of their ENTIRE tax obligation to the NWG Scholars Program, a state scholarship organization under HB 1133, which awards K-12 scholarships to students attending private schools.

Participate today by submitting your tax credit Pre-Approval Form.

Parents can use these scholarships to send their children to an accredited private school that provides the learning environment that best meets the child’s particular needs. The corporation, in turn, will receive a 100% tax credit for every dollar it donates so there is no cost to the corporation at all.  Participating corporations redirect funds they would already pay to the state for state income taxes, enabling the corporation to help children achieve greater educational excellence. As a result, the program is paving the way for an educated workforce that will greatly contribute to the betterment of all our communities here in Georgia.

This coming school year the NWG Scholars Program is giving more kids a second chance to succeed in the classroom, and we have the success stories to prove that the scholarships are a step up for those least likely to afford any kind of school choice option.

Participating companies do not have to be domiciled in Georgia; the only requirement is that they have income tax liability with the state. Dollars can fund scholarships for children in a specific region(s) or across the state.

Participation is simple! For more information and participation, contact us at the NWG Scholars Program, jsuber AT nwgscholars.org, or by phone at 4zero4.6three0.1two11.
