| COVID-19, Financial Aid, Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (SB10), Legislation, News, Scholarships, Tuition

In the 2019-2020 legislative session, advocates sought to improve the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship (SB10 Waiver).  We were of course thrilled that SB386 passed the senate, but with COVID and the legislative session getting cut short, the bill (like so many others) ultimately did not pass.   We are hopeful for a different outcome this […]
