The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our school community. By simply contributing to GOAL for a 100% Georgia income tax credit, you will help maximize this source of financial aid for deserving families desiring to receive a Darlington education.
Over the past several years, the tax credit program has become so popular that all available credits are consumed on the first business day of the year. That’s why it is imperative that alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and friends of the school act fast to help with this opportunity for future Darlington students.
