    Through Georgia's Education Expense Credit, the GOAL Scholarship Program allows taxpayers to play a vital role in improving K-12 educational opportunities. This is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our school community. This valuable Georgia law has been provided to us by our state legislators. In 2018, the Georgia legislature nearly doubled the available tax credits, alleviating the "oversubscription" problem of past years.

    By simply contributing to Georgia GOAL for a 100% Georgia income tax credit, you will help maximize this source of financial assistance for students, who would otherwise not be able to afford a Brookstone education. Your participation will be a great benefit to our school community and will make a significant difference in students’ lives.

“I think that potential donors need to remember that this is an investment. We want to invest in our future, and the way to do that is to invest in students. Students who have so much potential and want to succeed - they’re the ones that will change the future truly and make an impact. It's important to know that this scholarship truly changes lives... Brookstone has set me on this amazing path in life, and I still feel like a part of the community here. I think that any student, regardless of financial status, should be able to come here.”
