As seniors begin to make college decisions, here is a reminder about the HOPE / Zell Miller Scholarship. The Zell Miller Scholarship pays the full amount of tuition for GA Public Colleges while the HOPE Scholarship pays a percentage of tuition for GA Public Colleges. This year the HOPE paid approximately 89 % of tuition; however, this percentage can change each year. To qualify for the Zell Miller, students must graduate from high school with a 3.7 HOPE GPA and a minimum of 1200 SAT score (at one sitting) or 26 ACT composite score. To qualify for the HOPE Scholarship, students must graduate with a 3.0 HOPE GPA. In addition to GPA and test score requirements, there are also curriculum requirements.
