This article is intended for families with special cases wanting to participate in the Georgia Promise Scholarship program.
When applying for the Georgia Promise Scholarship Program, there may be families with special cases that may not have the required documents to apply but can still qualify for the program. This article explains the process for active duty military families having lived in Georgia for more than a year and families receiving SSI.
Active Duty Military Families:
If an active duty military family is living in Georgia for more than one year of their assigned date they will need to apply as a regular Georgia resident and upload the proper residency documentation.
- During the "State ID or Driver's License" section, military members can upload any valid, unexpired state ID, DL, passport or passport card. Please note, Active Military individuals will not need to upload a Georgia specific License. The application will then go under review and our team will be able to manually verify the application.
SSI Families:
If a family doesn't have a 1040 form because they're on SSI, they'll be able to upload their SSI document during the 1040 portion of the verification process.
- During the "1040 Form" income verification section, they must upload their SSI document a total of three times. The application will then go under review and our team will be able to manually verify the application.
