Overview of HOPE Scholarship Recipients in the University System of Georgia
Introduction For twelve years, the state of Georgia has been recognized as having the most generous meritbased student aid program in the nation, the HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally) Scholarship Program.1 Having attended college on the G.I. Bill, then Governor Zell Miller wanted to institute an incentive program within the state of Georgia that would expand access to postsecondary education and encourage students to attend in-state institutions. Clearly, the number of Georgia residents benefiting from the HOPE Scholarship speaks to the success of the program. From September 1993 through July 2005, $1,720,808,041 in merit-based aid was awarded to 413,476 USG students, with funding exclusively from the Georgia Lottery.2
For the eighth consecutive year, Georgia leads the nation in providing merit-based scholarships and grants to college students. The Annual Survey Report of the National Association of State Student Grant and Aid Programs (NASSGAP) states that in the 2003-2004 academic year, Georgia provided an average of $1,506 per student, as compared to the nationwide average of $500 (see Appendix A).3 Georgia was second in "Total Aid Awards" given with 300,111 (New York had 370,657). However, when comparing the ratio of total awards given to the number of students enrolled, Georgia had a nation-leading ratio of 91.6 percent (see Appendix B).4
The HOPE Scholarship is funded entirely by proceeds from the Georgia Lottery Corporation.5 In FY2005, the Georgia Lottery posted the highest sales in the 12-year history at $2,922,332,167. This amount is $211 million ahead of the previous sales record of $2.71 billion in FY2004. The Georgia Lottery's FY2005 profits transferred over $802,083,000 to the State Treasury's Lottery for Education Account.6 This surpasses FY2004's record transfer by more than $19 million and
1 The HOPE Program includes: the HOPE Scholarship, which covers tuition, mandatory fees and a book allowance for all Georgia resident students graduating high school with a 3.0 GPA. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA at various checkpoints in order to remain eligible for the scholarship. The HOPE Grant program provides tuition, fees and a book allowance for students pursuing non-degree programs at institutions of the Department of Technical and Adult Education. The HOPE GED program provides a one-time $500 grant to recent GED recipients toward their first year of post-secondary study. The PROMISE Teacher Scholarship and Georgia HOPE Teacher Scholarship provide service-cancelable loans to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing teacher education degrees. The PROMISE II Teacher Scholarship is a service-cancelable loan designed to assist teacher aids and paraprofessionals in pursuing the baccalaureate degree in education. In 1993, the HOPE Scholarship Program had a family income cap of $66,000. The cap was raised to $100,000 in 1994. By 1995, all income caps were removed. 2 Source: http://www.gsfc.org/main/publishing/pdf/2004/annualrpt04.pdf retrieved 8/15/05. 3 Source: 35th Annual Survey Report on State-Sponsored Student Financial Aid 2003-2004 Academic Year, National Association of State Student Grant and Aid Programs. http://www.nassgap.org/viewrepository.aspx?categoryID=3# 4 Ibid. 5 The Georgia Lottery Corporation is legally required to allocate 35 percent of its lottery revenues to education, 51 percent of its revenues to players in winnings, and the remaining 14 percent is split between retailers and operating expenses. 6 Georgia Code (O.C.G.A. 50-27) specifies that lottery receipts be used for "educational purposes and programs" only defined as: postsecondary tuition scholarships and grants; construction of educational facilities; technology of educational facilities; and prekindergarten for four-year-olds.

brings the total amount raised for educational programs in Georgia since inception to more than $7.6 billion.7
The HOPE Scholarship Program has improved accessibility to higher education for Georgia residents8. As such, it is important to monitor trends of HOPE scholars attending our institutions, as the USG strives to create a more educated Georgia. System-Wide Trends of First-Time Freshmen Since the inception of HOPE, both the number and proportion of first-time freshmen receiving HOPE has increased. The proportion of USG freshmen receiving the HOPE Scholarship has varied to some extent since 1996.9 However, the longitudinal trend has been similar across institutional sectors (see Figure 1). With the exception of research universities, all institutional sectors experienced a slight decline in the number of HOPE Scholars for the Class of 2000. This decline is attributable to Georgia Student Finance Commission's adoption of a standard core of courses included in grade point average calculations.10 In Fall 2004, 76.2 percent of first-time freshmen received HOPE in their first term. System-wide, there were approximately 7,000 more first-time freshmen HOPE scholars in Fall 2004 than in Fall 1996, reflecting a 40.2 percent increase11 (see Appendix C). See Appendix D to compare the numbers of HOPE scholars between 1996 and 2004 across all student levels.

8 USG HOPE Scholarship reports focus on the HOPE eligible population. An eligible student is one who, based on SIRS (Student Information Reporting System) data, is a Georgia resident who graduated from a Georgia High School in 1993 or later or someone who according to GSFC data received the HOPE scholarship in their first semester at a USG institution. 9 The first two years of the HOPE Scholarship program contained income caps, limiting student participation. Consequently, we have chosen to cover Fall 1996 to Fall 2001 in this report, thus controlling the effects of the early broadening of the HOPE program. 10 High school grade point average calculations to determine HOPE Scholarship eligibility are currently limited to the 16 core curriculum courses in the following subject areas: English, math, social studies, foreign language and science. 11 There is a one-year time lag in officially identifying all HOPE Scholars due to retroactive award policies and year-end budget closures.

HOPE Scholarship Status by Institutional Sector In Fall 2004, 79,419 USG undergraduates had the HOPE Scholarship, representing 38.2 percent of the HOPE-eligible population (see Table 1 and Figure 3). Variation by institutional sector is observed in the proportion of HOPE scholars within the HOPE-eligible population. HOPE scholars represent approximately one half of the HOPE-eligible population in both the research and regional university sectors, slightly over one third in the state university sector, and about one quarter in the state and two-year college sectors.

Two-year colleges experienced the largest percentage increase in the proportion of HOPE scholars by institutional sector, when comparing Fall 1996 with Fall 2004 (see Table 2). In Fall 1996, 13 percent of USG HOPE scholars were attending two-year institutions, as compared to 17.3 percent in Fall 2004. In contrast, the proportion of USG HOPE scholars at regional universities went from 16.6 percent in Fall 1996 to 13.1 percent in Fall 2004.

Over 28,000 of HOPE scholars attending USG institutions in Fall 2004 were enrolled at research universities, representing 35.5 percent of the population (see Table 3 and Figure 5). An additional 24,690 scholarship recipients attended state universities. Thus, two-thirds of all HOPE scholars within the USG were enrolled in either research or state universities.

HOPE Scholarship Status by Student Level Figure 4 illustrates that the proportion of HOPE scholars within the HOPE-eligible population varies by student level. In Fall 2004, slightly less than half (48 percent) of the HOPE-eligible freshman population held the scholarship. In contrast, one quarter of the HOPE-eligible senior population received the scholarship.

* This cohort includes all undergraduates (student levels 01, 02, 05, 10, 12, 20, 30, 40, and 81) plus student levels 50, 51, and Accounting and Pharmacy students at student levels 70, 72, 74, 76, and 80. This is considered to be the cohort of students who could possibly receive HOPE. Some students received HOPE even though they were graduate or professional students in SIRS because they had not yet completed a bachelor's degree and had not reached the limit of HOPE eligibility when they started pursuing a graduate degree.

* This cohort includes all undergraduates (student levels 01, 02, 05, 10, 12, 20, 30, 40, and 81) plus student levels 50, 51, and Accounting and Pharmacy students at student levels 70, 72, 74, 76, and 80. This is considered to be the cohort of students who could possibly receive HOPE. Some students received HOPE even though they were graduate or professional students in SIRS because they had not yet completed a bachelor's degree and had not reached the limit of HOPE eligibility when they started pursuing a graduate degree.

* This cohort includes all undergraduates (student levels 01, 02, 05, 10, 12, 20, 30, 40, and 81) plus student levels 50, 51, and Accounting and Pharmacy students at student levels 70, 72, 74, 76, and 80. This is considered to be the cohort of students who could possibly receive HOPE. Some students received HOPE even though they were graduate or professional students in SIRS because they had not yet completed a bachelor's degree and had not reached the limit of HOPE eligibility when they started pursuing a graduate degree.
