Georgia’s HOPE GED Grant is available to students who earned a General Education Development (GED/high school equivalency) diploma awarded by the Technical College System of Georgia after June 30, 1993. Full-time enrollment is not required.
The Grant provides a one-time $500 HOPE award that can be used towards tuition, books, and other educational costs at an eligible public technical college or public or private college or university. HOPE GED Grant award must be used within 24 months of the date of a student receiving his/her GED diploma.
Hope GED Grant students are eligible for the HOPE Scholarship in a degree program once they have attempted 30 semester or 45 quarter hours of study with a 3.00 cumulative gpa. The entry points are based on all degree credit attempted and course work converted to degree credit after the award date for the GED diploma.
In addition to the $500 GED Grant, GED students can also qualify for the HOPE Grant for Certificate and Diploma Programs covering tuition, approved mandatory fees, and a book allowance at public colleges and technical colleges.

This is done by helping to locate a home which is appropriate for your distinct
needs, and after that a portion of your respective rent will then be paid direct in your landlord,
relieving the monthly burden of the rent. Housing assistance for single moms is available and
will help to make things less expensive for you. If you’ve found a good value over a home that requires some fixing, the costs could be included within the loan. You can spend much time searching for grants that are great for your qualifications. National university funds for single parents training are classified since the Pell Grant, the TEACH Plan, and also the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant.
