Who qualifies40 first-year non-resident students selected each year. Selected by the Office of Scholar Programs through the same holistic review process as Stamps and Gold; cannot be applied for separately.
How to keep itRenewable for up to 8 semesters with maintained academic progress.
NotesThe most consequential OOS award at GT for families who want a published-tuition-class outcome. The waiver alone is worth approximately $23,084/year ($33,596 OOS tuition minus $10,512 in-state tuition), or $92,336 over four years. Recipients still pay in-state tuition, fees, and room/board, so out-of-pocket is roughly $30,000/year, closer to a typical state flagship.

Who qualifiesGeorgia resident, US citizen or eligible non-citizen, enrolled in a degree-seeking undergraduate program. No SAT/ACT requirement for HOPE (only Zell Miller).
How to keep itCumulative 3.0 GPA required at each post-graduation review checkpoint (typically at 30, 60, 90, and 120 attempted credit hours). Award is forfeited and not retroactively restored if GPA falls below 3.0.
NotesState-funded merit award covering a portion of in-state tuition. Pro-rated by credit hour load (15 hrs/semester gets the maximum). HOPE does not cover GT's mandatory fees ($1,496/year) or any portion of OOS tuition. Recalculated each enrollment period.

How to keep itCumulative 3.30 GPA required at each post-graduation review checkpoint. If GPA falls below 3.30 but stays above 3.0, the student steps down to HOPE Scholarship rates rather than losing all state aid.
NotesThe full-tuition tier of Georgia's lottery-funded merit ladder. Pays at a higher per-credit rate than HOPE (covers tuition rate increases up to 100%). For Georgia residents who hit the threshold, Zell Miller is the closest thing GT has to an automatic full-tuition scholarship. National Merit Semifinalists from Georgia who qualify for Zell Miller still need to apply for the GT Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid (GT App) to be considered for institutional supplements.

Who qualifiesGeorgia resident with demonstrated low-income status (typically family income at or below the Pell Grant threshold). Must complete the GT Application for Scholarships and Financial Aid (GT App) AND the FAFSA. Selection is based on the financial aid application; no separate Promise application.
How to keep itRenewable as long as the student maintains satisfactory academic progress and continues to demonstrate financial need.
NotesNeed-based, not stat-based, but functions as the lower-income complement to HOPE/Zell Miller. Tech Promise students stack federal Pell, state HOPE/Zell Miller, and institutional grants to reach a debt-free package. This is the GT-specific version of the no-loan-pledge programs at peer schools.
