The children of military families in Georgia would be eligible for the state's popular HOPE scholarship under legislation that sailed through the Senate. Currently, students in Georgia must have lived in the state for a year to be eligible for HOPE. The bill that passed unanimously on Wednesday would waive that residency requirement for the children of active-duty military personnel. The HOPE scholarship guarantees free in-state public college tuition to any Georgia high school student who graduates high school with a B average or better.
