SUMMARY: This bill would amend Part 3 of Article 6 of Chapter 2 of Title 20 of the O.C.G.A. to require public and private high schools to adopt a prescribed reporting system for 9th—11th graders to determine HOPE eligibility.
REQUIREMENTS:
- An electronic transcript for every student in grades 9-11 that includes the total record of his/her high school career, including all test grades, would have to be submitted to the GA Student Finance Commission
- The GSFC would calculate the GPA for a potential HOPE by the actual grade earned with no weighting or addition of points by the school.
- The GSFC would be responsible for notifying the students of their eligibility for the HOPE scholarships.
