Private Choice In Public Programs
Georgia’s Special Needs Scholarship Program extends to a new group of students the same kind of educational choice already enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of Georgia citizens from prekindergarten through college. Prior to the adoption of the special needs scholarship, Georgia already offered no less than 11 scholarship, grant or voucher programs related to the care and education of its young people. These programs, like special needs scholarships, allow aid to be used at private organizations, including religious ones.
