Eligible students who are currently enrolled in good standing may receive Supplemental Educational Opportunity grants. The amount of financial assistance a student may receive depends upon his needs, taking into account his financial resources, those of his parents, and the cost of attending the college. The Federal Pell Grant Program is a federal aid program designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend college. The amount of each grant is based on the cost of attending college the amount of funds available, and the amount of family contributions toward the cost of attending school. Students must be enrolled full-time.
Funds are limited.
Hope is funded by the Georgia Lottery for education and is available to eligible Georgia 1993 or later high school graduate. Freshmen may receive HOPE assistance for sophomore, junior, and senior year by maintaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA, completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid each year, and making satisfactory academic progress. If a student graduated from high school before the HOPE program began in 1993, or if he or she is not academically eligible for a HOPE scholarship immediately after high school graduation, he or she may be eligible for HOPE after attempting 30 or 60 semester hours of study if he or she has a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. Students seeking an Associate of Applied Science degree should contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information concerning HOPE eligibility. Specific questions about HOPE should be directed to the Office of Financial Aid at East Georgia College.
