Hope for college



The Georgia Student Finance Commission
administers the HOPE program.
Students determine their eligibility for the Hope
Scholarship for college with their grade point
average in high school academic core classes.
This fall your student’s grades will start
counting toward determining Hope eligibility for
college.
(University System colleges require a “B” average in core subjects
for Hope eligibility, technical colleges do not require a “B” average
for Hope eligibility.)
Eligibility under Georgia High School
Association (Sports and Literary)

Students must be on track for graduation
(on grade level)

Students have to pass 5 of 7 classes in
the semester prior to your sport
If either one of the two above are not met at any
given time, a student is not eligible to participate.

workforce.
Excellent facilities.
A highly educated and enthusiastic faculty.
Fully staffed school with all available
services.
