Georgia HOPE Scholarship

    The Georgia HOPE Scholarship was established in 1993 for residents of Georgia. Awards are given on a first dollar basis and vary based on type of institution. High school graduates must meet merit requirements higher than the Georgia HOPE Grant and can attend any in-state public or private college, university, or vocational program. The program is funded by Georgia's Lottery for Education.
