Georgia Student Scholarship Organization

Helping Georgia’s Children  Achieve Educational Excellence Has Never Been Easier!

For Schools

·        GASSO updates all partner schools with donation and scholarship information summaries twice per month. Schools are up to date with the amount of donations available for awards and the awards distributed to the school year to date.

·        GASSO relies on the partner schools to determine the criteria for scholarship awards best suited for the needs of the students, school and community supporting the school. GASSO does not impose any arbitrary requirements for scholarship qualifications other than the eligibility requirement listed in HB 1133.

·        GASSO distributes scholarship award checks to the schools usually within 3 business days of receiving a completed approved application form from the school.

·        GASSO awards the total amount of scholarship approved by the school instead of “obligating” the award for distribution at some later time.

·        GASSO offers seminars about the program for parents, donors and schools at no cost to the school.

For Donors

·        GASSO allows Donors to direct their donations to the school(s) of their choice.

·        GASSO holds seminars for Donors to understand the law and donation process at no charge to the Donor.

·        GASSO is readily available by phone or email for answering questions about the donation process.

For Parents/Students –

·        GASSO quickly distributes checks for approved scholarship awards to the school (usually within 3 business days).

·        GASSO holds seminars to educate and inform parents about the eligibility requirements for a student to participate in the program and receive a scholarship. GASSO provides this service to the schools, parents and donors at no cost.
