https://www.gahighwaysafety.org/georgia-drivers-education-grant-scholarship/

This course meets the requirements for "Joshua's Law", which requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of drive time with an instructor to receive a Class D license. Most insurance companies also give a reduction (approx. 10%) on insurance premiums upon successful completion. 

The Georgia Driver's Education Grant Scholarship program is available to cover the $400 course registration fee. In this program, students will apply for a driver's education grant scholarship and, upon award, choose from a list of authorized providers to redeem a voucher for a standard 30/6 driver's education course. To redeem the voucher, email the voucher to the contact at the preferred SRTC location.

Those not eligible must pay the $400 tuition, part of which can be tax deductible. 

The application cycle is as follows:

Application must be submitted at least one month prior to the month of class attendance. 

Award notifications are delivered via email on the 1st of each month. If awarded a scholarship, promptly email the voucher to the contact at your preferred SRTC location.

PARENTS: To help ensure a safe and successful learning experience, we ask that parents/guardians take an active role in preparing their teen before they begin their behind-the-wheel sessions with a certified instructor. These 6 hours of professional instruction are designed to build on a student's existing familiarity with driving, not serve as their first time behind the wheel. Students should already be comfortable with basic vehicle operation- such as starting, stopping, turning, and steering- and have experience driving on open roads in a variety of conditions. Even with the completion of this course, parents/guardians are required to supervise at least 40 hours of driving, including 6 hours at night. We strongly encourage parents/guardians to begin supervised driving practice early and often, helping their teen gain confidence and basic experience before meeting with an instructor.
