The Hope Scholarship, also known as the HOPE Program, is a scholarship program in the United States that provides merit-based financial assistance to eligible students who are pursuing a post-secondary education. The program was created in 1993 as part of the Georgia Lottery for Education Act and is available to students who attend eligible colleges and universities in Georgia.
The Hope Scholarship covers tuition and fees at eligible colleges and universities in Georgia, and recipients may receive the scholarship for up to 127 credit hours or until they receive a bachelor’s degree, whichever comes first.
In addition to the Hope Scholarship, there are other scholarship and financial aid programs available to students in Georgia, such as the Zell Miller Scholarship and the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant.
