HOPE Lottery Scholarship

This state-administered program supports undergraduate students in maintaining their funding through specific academic checkpoints. When students fall below the required cumulative grade point average at designated credit hour intervals, they can utilize special recovery pathways. The first pathway allows a student to repeat a single course and substitute the higher grade to recalculate their academic standing. The second pathway enables students to automatically restore their funding at a subsequent credit benchmark if they successfully raise their cumulative average to the required level. The program tracks academic progress using a specialized calculation that may differ from standard institutional averages by excluding dual-enrollment or test credits while incorporating all post-high school coursework.
