HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally) Programs

The HOPE Program began in 1993 and is entirely funded by the Georgia Lottery. The HOPE Grant program provides assistance to Georgia residents pursuing certificates and diplomas and the HOPE Scholarship provides assistance for students in degree programs of study. The Georgia Student Finance Commission (GSFC) is the state agency that administers the HOPE scholarship and grant programs. Below are some of the highlights of the grant and scholarship programs. For detailed information, please visit their website at www.gsfc.org. Students are able to track their eligibility and usage of HOPE funds by logging into MyGAFutures at www.gafutures.org.
