When Do I Fund My Credit?
Pre-register beginning in August of 2019 and pay in the spring of 2020. Apogee will remain in touch with you throughout the process and notify you by email (or letter if an email address is not provided) when your tax credit application has been approved. In order to finalize your participation, Apogee must receive your payment within 60 days of the state’s approval either by mail to the Apogee address above or online with a credit card. Checks should be made to the Apogee Scholarship Fund.
The State has 30 days to approve your credit and notify you. You will have 60 days after you receive approval to fund your credit. Payment will be due in February/March of 2020.
Apogee Scholarship Fund
By redirecting a portion of your Georgia state tax liability to the Apogee Scholarship Fund, you will receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit that Prince Avenue uses to provide need-based financial aid to deserving students moving from public schools or entering Prince Avenue Christian School in Pre-K, Kindergarten, or first grade. You will also receive a charitable deduction on your federal tax return.
Prince Avenue Christian School Financial Aid
Funds received from the Georgia Private School Tax Credit program are made available to qualified applicants in the school’s existing financial aid program.
Georgia Department of Education
In 2008, the Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill 1133, which provides individual and corporate taxpayers in the state of Georgia with the opportunity to redirect a portion of their state tax liability to qualified student scholarship organizations (SSO). This program supports financial aid programs at a private school of a taxpayer’s choice.
