Course Description
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.

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.
