5. FINANCE DEPARTMENT • The Georgia Private School Tax Credit Law allows you to receive tax credits for donations to
Student Scholarship Organizations (SSOs). SSOs provide student scholarships for eligible children who plan to attend private schools. Decatur Adventist Junior Academy (DAJA) works with an SSO called Arete Scholars. This program can help more students attend DAJA. By redirecting your state tax dollars and naming DAJA as the recipient, you will receive a tax credit for the amount redirected. With a tax credit you receive all of your redirected taxes back when you file your tax return; therefore, this costs you nothing!
