Financial Aid Available
We are proud to be able to offer students different options for Financial Aid
Georgia's Special Needs Scholarship (SB10)
The Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (GSNS) Program is a school choice program available for special needs students attending Georgia public schools who are served under an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Simply put, if your child has a current IEP in place during their time in public school then your child is eligible to receive the State of Georgia's Special Needs Scholarship or the "SB10 Scholarship." Payments from the state are sent to the school quarterly throughout the school year and parents are required to endorse the check so that the payment can then be applied to their students' tuition costs. To see the estimated award amount your child could be eligible for, click here. Helpful info - The scholarship calculator is closed during the majority of the summer and updated each July before the new school year starts. New award letters can be generated at that time. |
Georgia Student Scholarship Organization, Inc. is one of the oldest and largest non-profit corporations approved by the State of Georgia to accept and manage tax-credit donations that give Georgia children access to the educational choices they deserve and need.
Most students from the second grade forward must have attended a Georgia primary or secondary school for at least six weeks immediately prior to receiving a scholarship. Interested in getting a tax credit? Click here to submit your pledge...and thank you! Interested in applying for financial aid for your child? Click here to apply. THIS SCHOLARSHIP IS AWARDED PRIOR TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS ACCEPTED OR ENROLLED IN AOI. STUDENT APPLICATIONS BE SUBMITTED YEARLY AFTER JANUARY 1ST AND BEFORE JUNE 1ST FOR THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. |
AOI In-house Scholarship
The Academy of Innovation is proud to be able to provide financial assistance to families through the help of generous donors who make it possible.
Scholarships may be awarded based on the family's financial need to students who attend the Academy of Innovation on a full or part-time basis. This may include a dual enrollment with another school. The AOI scholarship is to be used exclusively for AOI tuition and not for any other school’s instructional fees.
In order to ascertain if a student is eligible for the AOI scholarship, parents must complete an online application (one-time application fee of $55.00) with the School and Student Services (SSS), a national organization that estimates the amount of tuition that families can use for funding to pay for private schools. Total household income of each parent will be used in the evaluation of eligibility. Parents fill out the application and provide the required documents to see if they meet the scholarship criteria. After receiving the SSS report, a member of AOI scholarship committee schedules an interview with the potential parents to go over the SSS report. Then the committee will meet and review the SSS recommendations to determine if the family meets the scholarship qualifications. The AOI committee will make the final decision about scholarship awards. All financial records will be held in confidence.
The AOI Scholarship is awarded for 1 year and is not automatically renewable. Families will need to reapply for the scholarship on a yearly basis.
School and Student Services has webinars with good information if you run into something you're not sure about. If you have any other questions about their platform/portal you can always contact them at 800.344.8328. They're very helpful. :)
