My parents moved to Indiana while I was going to school in Tennessee. I have an address that I use and kinda live at in Tennessee still but I want to spend the summer with them. If I get a job in Indiana will that inflict with my residency causing me to lose my instate HOPE scholarships??

According to Hope Scholarship eligibility, you have seven years of Hope Scholarship eligibility after graduating from an eligible high school; however, you should contact the GA college that you are interested in attending for confirmation of eligibility.

Part of the Hope Scholarship requirements includes graduating from a Hope Eligible Georgia High School; so, I do not think your daughter would be eligible due to this requirement.

I attended an out of state college for my first 30 credits after graduation. I am now applying instate (Georgia). My GPA is above a 3.0 average. Am I still eligible for the HOPE scholarship as a sophomore in a GA college?

Hi, if my daughter graduates from a high school in Alabama, where she lives with her mother, and I am a resident of Georgia, would my daughter qualify for the HOPE scholarship? As her father, with her listed as my dependent, I would meet all of the Georgia residence requirements – my job, home, drivers license, voter registration, etc. are all in Georgia. But my wife, daughter, and daughter’s high school are in Alabama. Thanks.

I believe you have a 7 year window after graduating from a hope qualified Georgia school to use the Hope Scholarship. It appears that you would not qualify, but please confirm with your counselor.

If in one semester I took 17 credit hours, but tuition is the same price as 15 credit hours, would all 17 hours count toward HOPE credits? Or would it just be 15 hours counted because I paid the same price as attempting 15 hours?

I am 35 years old and I graduated high school in 1999 in Florida but have had Georgia as my residency since 1999. I am about to complete 60 credit hours at SPSU ( now Kennesaw State). I completed my associates degree at Athens Technical Collage in 2012. Most of my credits did not transfer to SPSU. Where dose this put me for qualifying for hope and if i could still qualify do I count the classes I took at Athens Tech that did not transfer towards the 60 or 90 credits?
