Post-Secondary Learners

Our state makes impactful investments in students from Pre-K through high school, but it doesn't stop there. After carefully cultivating workforce- and college-ready students, Georgia keeps that intellectual capital in-state through a top-notch college and university system. To make post-secondary education attainable and affordable, Georgia offers the HOPE Scholarship to residents who have demonstrated academic achievement. HOPE provides money to assist students with the educational costs of attending a HOPE eligible postsecondary institution located in Georgia. The HOPE Career Grant covers 100% of tuition for qualified students to attend the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) in dozens of high demand areas of study. Launched in 1993, HOPE was the first merit-based state scholarship program in the US.
