HOPE Rigor Requirements
If you would like to qualify for the Georgia HOPE Scholarship please be aware that in addition to earning a minimum 3.0 GPA as calculated by the GSFC (Georgia Student Finance Commission), you must meet basic eligibility requirements AND academic rigor requirements. The GSFC does not weight honors courses. Students must complete four full credit hours in academically rigorous courses from the list below:
- Advanced math, such as advanced algebra and trigonometry, math III, taken at the high school, or an equivalent or higher course taken for degree level credit at an Eligible Postsecondary Institution;
- Advanced science, such as chemistry, physics, biology II, taken at the high school, or an equivalent or higher course taken for degree level credit at an Eligible Postsecondary Institution;
- Foreign language courses taken at the high school, or taken for degree level credit at an Eligible Postsecondary Institution; or
- Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Dual Credit Enrollment courses in Core subjects
Seniors – It is essential that you check to see if your correct Social Security number is on file with Northview. An incorrect SS number can impact getting the HOPE. You cannot qualify for HOPE without an official Social Security number.
Checking Your HOPE GPA
Tips for Reducing Stress During Finals Week
- Start studying well before the exam date.
- Focus on understanding the concepts rather than pure memorization. Use mnemonics if you need to memorize information.
- Imagine how relieved you will feel after the exam is over.
- Keep reminding yourself that your hard work will not go to waste.
- If you are afraid of tough questions, it helps to know that most questions are of average difficulty and designed to be answered correctly by most examinees.
- Designate a study budy, a classmate who is an expert in a subject you have trouble in, that you can go to with questions.
- Get plenty of sleep while you are studying and before the test. It makes it easier to learn and retain information.
- Eat healthy food. Avoid sugar and sugar crashes.
- Exercise 15-20 minutes a day to reduce stress and feel mentally fit.
- While taking notes, use as many diagrams, graphs, figures, and illustrations as possible.
- Ask a senior or more knowledgeable person to create a practice test for you, or use practice tests available online or from the teacher.
- On the day of the exam, feel happy and think positive.
