The HOPE Grant*
Georgia residents who are attending a Georgia public technical college to earn a certificate or diploma are eligible for a HOPE Grant regardless of high school graduation date or grade average. You may receive the Hope Grant for an unlimited number of programs that qualify under the guidelines.
Full-time enrollment is not required, but you must be making satisfactory academic progress to maintain eligibility.
How It Works*
You can receive HOPE assistance if you enroll at an eligible Georgia public technical college. The HOPE Grant is awarded for study leading to a certificate or diploma. Many technical colleges offer two-year degree programs as well. Students in degree programs are also eligible for the HOPE Scholarship, although they must meet different qualifications than students earning a certificate or diploma.
What is covered?*
The HOPE Grant covers tuition, HOPE-approved mandatory fees, and a book allowance of up to $100 per quarter.
