Georgia HOPE Scholarship Update
There are several bills in the Georgia Legislature which may change the Georgia HOPE Scholarships. HB 159 will place an maximum family income limit of $66,000 for eligibility. House Bill 326 is making it's way through the Georgia Legislature and includes many changes to the Georgia HOPE Scholarship eligibility requirements and awards amounts, which will be cut for the upcoming year. Books and fees won't be covered by the new HOPE.
Going forward, students graduating high school in 2015 and beyond will be required to take advanced courses in math, science, foreign languages or advanced placement in core courses to be eligible for the HOPE. 2015 grads will need two of these courses, 2016 grads need three and 2017 and beyond will need four.
The bill proposes a new Zell Miller Scholarship, which would cover the entire tuition cost for students who meet the eligibility requirements which include a 3.7 GPA and a minimum 1200 SAT score.
New Mexico extends Legislative Lottery Scholarships to include Tribal colleges.
House Bill 92 has passed in the House and has been sent on to the Senate which would allow the Legislative Lottery Scholarships to include students at tribal colleges. Included in the bill would be resident undergraduates attending the Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development in Santa Fe, Navajo Technical College in Crownpoint and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque which have been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
