Scholarship Funds
Scholarship funds are secured from Georgia tax payers and businesses who simply redirect a portion of their state income taxes to the Alyn Scholarship Fund. ASF then uses those donations to award scholarships to eligible students.
The more money we have, the more we give.

Note: Participants can direct that their contribution be used at a school(s) of their choosing; like Southside Christian School.
However, they cannot, in any way, determine which particular student(s) receive a scholarship or the award amount that a student receives.

Why participate
|
You Have to Pay Them... Taxes
Participants aren't giving extra money out of their pocket. It's just the money they're already required to pay in Georgia state income taxes. So, why send your money to the politicians in Atlanta when you can support SCS's students instead? |
No Cost to Contribute
Participants receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for the amount of their contribution. For every dollar contributed, a participant's state tax bill is reduced by that same amount. |
Anyone Can Contribute
Any Georgia taxpayer or business can redirect a portion of their taxes to this program. Yes, even parents* *Whether a parent contributes or not has no impact on their child's scholarship eligibility or award amount. |
