[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 29778, member: 198"] HOPE ran out of money. HOPE award was cut back, and the original HOPE was renamed Zell Miller Scholarship, and required a 3.7 GPA to maintain. I always thought this was a farce anyway. To maintain the original HOPE scholarship at GT, you had to make Dean's List. Not many other schools honor a student with Dean's List for a 3.0 GPA. My opinion was always that the minimum GPA to maintain HOPE should have been set at "Dean's List", since it was an academic scholarship, not a need-based scholarship. That would have allowed the HOPE funding to be distributed equitably. As it was, many kids lost HOPE after their first year at Tech. I certainly know that if it had been around when I went to Tech I would have never sniffed any $. Didn't make Dean's List until my senior year (all 5 quarters of it! When I was there, you became a senior after 135 QH, but I needed 211 to get out). [/QUOTE]
