Help for those with no HOPE
High school seniors who can't make the cut with tougher HOPE scholarship guidelines are getting a boost from one north Georgia college. It's a remedy that could be copied by other state schools.
Reinhardt College in Cherokee County will give two-thousand dollars to incoming freshmen who barely miss getting a HOPE scholarship. The amount represents two-thirds of a typical HOPE payout to students attending a private institution.
Julie Cook is associate dean for enrollment services at the private Christian school in Waleska, which costs nearly 15-thousand dollars to attend. She expects an offer such as this, to take hold at other Georgia institutions.
"If they've not already begun discussing or have in place some similar type of replacement grant I think in both public and private sectors...colleges will have to re-think the financial aid strategy, relating to this group of incoming freshmen".
The new state-system for calculating HOPE grade-point averages makes it tougher for students to achieve required B-averages. Across the state, a third-fewer incoming college students are expected to qualify for HOPE compared to the past two years.
