Due to an expected 50% prorating of tax credit applications, The Howard School must double its applications to secure the same amount of financial aid funding through this program as in previous years. To participate, you must apply by December 31, 2024, to redirect a portion of your 2025 owed income taxes to The Howard School. The process is quick (just 20 seconds!). You’ll receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, so participating ultimately costs you nothing but greatly impacts our school. GOAL will handle all remaining steps until your pre-paid tax dollars are due in mid-March 2025. Questions? Contact Nancy Black at nancy.black@howardschool.org or (404) 377-7436. | | | | | | | | | |  | The Financial Aid Application Deadline is Today!
