Keep Hope Alive Scholarship Report
The HOPE scholarship is awarded to Georgia residents who demonstrate academic excellence and offers financial support to students by covering part of their tuition at eligible higher education institutions. From 2012 to 2017, over 15,000 first-time, full-time students enrolled at GSU with the HOPE scholarship. However, almost 6,000 students lost the scholarship over the course of their enrollment (see Figure 1). To help students regain the scholarship, GSU introduced the Keep HOPE Alive (KHA) program. The program awards a $1,000 scholarship to students on the condition that they engage in a series of support interventions aimed at improving their academic performance. This paper evaluates the effect of receiving the KHA scholarship on regaining the HOPE scholarship and graduating. KEY WORDS: NISS, Merit-based grants, scholarships, white paper
