About Georgia HOPE Scholarship
HOPE is Georgia merit aid for students attending participating colleges, focused on eligible tuition.
For a high-school entry pathway, the published general standard is a 3.0 HOPE GPA in core courses; residency and eligible graduation rules also apply, along with FAFSA or GSFAPP as appropriate. College students may earn eligibility at checkpoints and can lose it below the standard. Confirm institution, combined hours, and paid-hour limits.
Complete the FAFSA or GSFAPP and check your status in GAfutures. GSFC checks HOPE GPA at checkpoints such as spring term and specified attempted-hour levels; at least 3.0 is required at those checks to retain the scholarship. Zell Miller has higher standards and is a separate award. Before transferring, ask the new campus to review hours and eligibility.
