Georgia HOPE Grant Program

Georgia residents enrolled in an eligible certificate or diploma program (not a bachelor's degree) at a participating Georgia college or university may receive HOPE Grant tuition assistance.

The award equals the HOPE rate per credit hour enrolled, up to 15 hours per term. Amounts vary by institution and legislative appropriation. Recipients must maintain a minimum 2.00 cumulative postsecondary GPA and stay within HOPE hour limits.

Students apply by completing the FAFSA or the Georgia Student Finance Application (GSFAPPS) and confirming eligibility with their institution's financial aid office.
