Empower Marist Students With Your Tax Dollars
The Georgia Education Expense Credit program makes an extraordinary impact at Marist School by providing resources for need-based tuition assistance for qualified students seeking a Marist education.
The program allows Georgia residents to redirect a portion of their state income tax liability to Marist School for financial aid purposes.
Your support is vital as Marist's mission is continually advanced by offering more families the opportunity to be a part of our exceptional school community.
