[ale] More HOPE info

[Hogg, Russell E]

I've dropped the ball and forgotten to find my HOPE GRANT file.  FWIW I got all this info originally from the GDOL, I thought the classes they had would be worthless, but it was actually worth the time.  I will post again tomorrow with anything additional I have at home and then shut my big mouth.

The state prints a catalog of all the schools and all their curriculums, They'll send it to you for free if you ask the right person, I believe the catalog is the "Georgia Post Secondary School Catalog" for which google returns nothing.

This website seems to have a similar listing

In the meantime I found this on the web:

How It Works
You may receive HOPE assistance if you enroll at an eligible Georgia public technical college. The HOPE Grant is awarded for study leading to a certificate or diploma. Many technical colleges offer two-year degree programs as well. The HOPE Scholarship is awarded to students in degree programs, who must meet different qualifications than students earning a certificate or diploma. 

The HOPE Grant 
Georgia residents who are attending a Georgia public technical college to earn a certificate or diploma are eligible for a HOPE Grant regardless of high school graduation date or grade average. You may receive the Hope Grant for an unlimited number of programs that qualify under the guidelines.

Full-time enrollment is not required, but you must be making satisfactory academic progress to maintain eligibility. You are not required to maintain a "B" average to renew your HOPE Grant. 

HOPE Grant Awards
The HOPE Grant covers tuition, HOPE-approved mandatory fees, and a book allowance of up to $100 per quarter.
