Step 4: Dual Enrollment Participation Agreement
Students must apply for Georgia’s Dual Enrollment Funding Program via GAFutures if they wish to receive state funding. Once the student has completed their portion of the funding form, the student’s parent/guardian will need to complete the Parent Participation Agreement section.
Students who are not eligible for Georgia’s Dual Enrollment Funding Program will need to complete a Dual and Joint Enrollment Course Approval Information.
A new Parent Participation Agreement is required each academic year (summer, fall, and spring semesters). The upcoming academic year application is released in February of each year in GAFutures.
Step 5: Verification of Lawful Presence

Both the Dual Enrollment Directory and AU Course Schedule tool can be used to help students identify which courses are funded through Georgia’s Dual Enrollment Funding Program as well as when and in what format they will be offered for any given semester.
The state of Georgia provides funding to students who are dually enrolled at a participating public or private high school, or home study program in Georgia, and a participating eligible postsecondary institution in Georgia. More information can be found on the GAFutures website hosted by the Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC).
