Financial Aid Programs

This is a state grant funded by the Georgia lottery. The HOPE grant covers a percentage of tuition based on a factor rate set by the Georgia Legislature each year. Recipients must be residents of Georgia for at least twelve (12) consecutive months, or in some cases 24 consecutive months, not be in default of a student loan or overpayment of a grant, and be registered with the Selective Service. At 30 and 60 attempted credit hours, GPA will be checked. To retain eligibility for the HOPE grant, students must have attained a 3.0 GPA at this checkpoint. The HOPE grant may be lost and regained once. The HOPE grant is limited to 63 attempted credit hours.
