cost of tuition with hope uga
Claire Suggs with the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute calculates that a UGA studentâs HOPE award will now only cover 74.5% of tuition. This understates the challenge for HOPE recipients, though, as UGA charges $2,258 in mandatory (non-HOPE covered) fees per year.Taking fees into account, the HOPE scholarship now only covers 60.1% of the tuition and fees at UGA.he Augusta Chronicle has crunched the numbers and found that UGAâs tuition and mandatory fees have increased from $3,276 per year in 2000 by over 3.5 times â students next year will pay over $11,600.
The combined annual cost of tuition and fees at the University of Georgia has more than tripled in the past 15 years. With a 9 percent tuition hike going into effect next fall, UGA undergraduates will shell out a total of $11,610 for two semesters, about twice what it cost in 2007.The declining value of the HOPE Scholarship is also helping drive up the cost of attending UGA.his academic year, a HOPE scholarship was worth $3,390 per semester for a UGA student taking 15 credit-hours. Next yearâs state budget calls for a 3 percent increase in the value of a HOPE scholarship. But it will only cover part of the tuition increase for UGA students.
