**The questionnaire continues on the back**
Below are some potential ideas for changing the way the HOPE scholarship is
awarded. Which do you support? (check all that apply)
_____ Raise the high school graduation/college GPA threshold to receive/maintain

eligibility.
_____ Place a household income cap on those receiving the scholarship.
_____ Offset HOPE scholarship with other scholarships (for example, if a student
receives a Pell Grant, the student would not receive HOPE)
_____ Eliminate the "second chance" for HOPE
_____ Limit the high school courses used to calculate the HOPE eligibility GPA (use
only core class grades to calculate GPA; for example music and art classes would
not count)
_____ Place a SAT or ACT threshold on scholarship eligibility
_____ Place a lower limit on the number of hours HOPE will cover
_____ Eliminate awards for private colleges and universities (currently HOPE pays a
flat amount for students attending a Georgia private college or university)
_____ Award flat scholarship amount for public colleges and universities (currently
the award is the amount of tuition, which is higher at some schools)
_____ Eliminate remedial and learning support from the HOPE scholarship
_____ Require a three year minimum residency requirement in the State of Georgia
before receiving HOPE
_____ Change HOPE to a reimbursement scholarship after a 3.0 average is achieved

in a student’s freshman year of college instead of an award based on high
school performance.
_____ Reduce scholarships to 80% of the cost of tuition.
Please share any other thoughts you have about improving the HOPE scholarship
program or your personal experience with HOPE and its impact on you or your
family:
