Read MoreIn addition to serving the maritime community, John Ebberwein, Benedictine Military School Class of 1986, and his Savannah Pilots Association co-workers generously participate in the Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program in support of Benedictine Military School.The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is provided to Georgians by elected officials.

By simply contributing to Georgia GOAL for a 100-percent Georgia income tax credit (by contributing with dollars you must spend anyway), you help maximize financial aid for deserving families desiring to receive a Benedictine education. -
