Book excerpt: The HOPE (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally - scholarship program), which began in 1993, is one of the most popular public policies ever enacted in the state of Georgia. This lottery-funded program pays for tuition, fees, and books at any public college or university in the state for any Georgia student who graduates from high school with a B or better grade point average (GPA). To keep the scholarship, students must maintain the B or better GPA in college. The program's popularity has spread well beyond Georgia's borders; at least a dozen other states have instituted similar broad-based merit scholarship programs, and most state legislatures have considered legislation to start similar programs. The federal HOPE tax credit, established in 1997, took its name from Georgia's program, though the originally-proposed merit-based component of the program was not enacted. In light of its popularity, HOPE raises a number of important policy questions regarding both the program itself and its funding source, the Georgia Lottery for Education: (1) What effect has the HOPE Scholarship program had on student performance in high school? (2) What effect has the HOPE Scholarship program had on student performance in college: (3) Who pays for and who benefits from the Georgia lottery and the programs it funds? (4) Has the scholarship program caused inflation in the cost of higher education in Georgia? This policy brief describes the HOPE Scholarship program and the Georgia Lottery for Education, summarizes a series of studies examining the program, offers recommendations for the design of merit-based financial aid programs, and suggests topics for further research.

This book was released on 2017-09-23 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent literature shows that poor and minority students may not have full access to educational opportunities. GAO was asked to examine poverty and race in schools and efforts by the Departments of Education and Justice, which are responsible for enforcing federal civil rights laws prohibiting racial discrimination against students. This report examined (1) how the percentage of schools with high percentages of poor and Black or Hispanic students has changed over time and the characteristics of these schools, (2) why and how selected school districts have implemented actions to increase student diversity, and (3) the extent to which the Departments of Education and Justice have taken actions to identify and address issues related to racial discrimination in schools. GAO analyzed Education data for school years 2000-01 to 2013-14 (most recent available); reviewed applicable federal laws, regulations, and agency documents; and interviewed federal officials, civil rights and academic subject matter specialists, and school district officials in three states, selected to provide geographic diversity and examples of actions to diversify.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HOPE Scholarship went through the most significant changes in its existence in 2011, when the generous full scholarship for all in-state college students in Georgia with a 3.0 GPA was reduced to a fixed amount per credit hour which equates to approximately 70-80 percent of tuition costs. In looking at enrollment, economic, and demographic data from the county level, it is apparent that since 2011, more and more HOPE students have enrolled in technical colleges rather than four-year public or private universities, and this is especially true in poorer counties outside of the metro Atlanta area.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgia Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) Scholarship is a merit-based award for Georgia high school students who wish to continue their education beyond graduation. This scholarship is fully funded by the lottery-playing citizens of the state of Georgia. The lottery funded program, as of 2015, raised over $7 billion (GA College 411, 2014) to support Georgia students. These funds have gone to support over 1.75 million Hope Scholarship award winners since 1993 (GA College 411, 2014). This qualitative multiple case study examined how access to the Georgia HOPE Scholarship looked at the high school level, by focusing on six local school guidance counselors, across a single-metro district. The purpose of this research is to best examine how local school counselors share knowledge of the Georgia HOPE Scholarship to the students and families they service. Specifically, the questions that were addressed included: 1) To what extend does the local school guidance counselor have knowledge of the Georgia HOPE Scholarship and/or the ability to gain information about this merit-based award? 2) How do local school guidance counselors present (i.e.: 'parent night' or local school websites) the Georgia HOPE Scholarship to students and their families? 3) From the perspective of the local school guidance counselor, how do students utilize or seek information regarding the Georgia HOPE Scholarship? In order to answer the research questions for the study, a postmodern approach with a focus on social capital was used to examine and understand how local school counselors, at the high school level, gain knowledge, present this merit-based award, and how these counselor's perspective students utilizing and seeking information about the Georgia HOPE Scholarship. Findings from this study shed light on the nature of knowledge of the local school guidance counselor and how these counselors present the award to the students in their building and across their community.

Book excerpt: The HOPE Scholarship began in the State of Georgia in 1993 and is a statewide, merit-based scholarship program for postsecondary students. The program is fully funded by the revenues received from the state's lottery program, the Georgia lottery, which disproportionately receives contributions from minority and low-income populations. Using logistic and OLS regression analysis this research investigates the distributional equity of the HOPE Scholarship by comparing the award receipts of postsecondary students in Georgia. The study found that the race, ethnicity, immigrant generational status, first generation college student, and financial independence have a negative impact on the likelihood of a student receiving the HOPE Scholarship. The findings also suggest that HOPE Scholarship recipients who are black or African American, first generation college students, and those with financial independence receive less overall funding than those without these qualities. These results provide sound evidence that the HOPE Scholarship, a merit-based program targeted at helping to reduce educational disparities, may be failing to reduce higher education inequities in the state. Given the established relationship between education and future economic success, these types of merit-based, state-wide programs may inadvertently exacerbate existing disparities. Recommendations include a mandated program analysis to promote accountability among program administrators, policymakers, and the greater public.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The qualitative bounded case study examined the HOPE Scholarship including the policy changes it went through since its inception and the impact HOPE has made on postsecondary education in Georgia. HOPE is the largest merit-based scholarship in the United States and is facing issues with funding for future scholars. This dissertation addressed its inception by Governor Zell Miller, the changes that it went through as issues arose, and the impact it has made on postsecondary education since 1993. The problem addressed by this dissertation was there was a lack of longitudinal research data on the topics addressed in this dissertation. Nine different archival documents were chosen to not only extract data from, but to tell the narrative of this enormous merit-based scholarship. A document content analysis was conducted on each document to answer the research questions. Future recommendations for research were also proposed.
