HOPE Program
In order to help Georgia citizens finance their education, the state has established the Georgia HOPE Program. HOPE is Georgia's unique scholarship and grant program that rewards students with financial assistance in degree, diploma, and certificate programs. The HOPE Program consists of HOPE Grant, Zell Miller Grant, HOPE Scholarship, Zell Miller Scholarship, and the Hope Career Grant. The HOPE Program is funded entirely by the Georgia Lottery for Education and is administered by the Georgia Student Finance Commission. The HOPE program award amounts at a public college covers a percentage of the tuition and is determined by the Georgia Student Finance Commission based on projected lottery revenues and expenditures. The HOPE award amount is subject to change each year. Hope Programs pay on a per credit hour basis.
