ATLANTA (WTOC) -
Georgia Gov. Nathan
Deal announced Thursday a proposal to change the HOPE Grant requirement to its
original level.
Deal announced that he
plans to return the HOPE Grant GPA requirement to 2.0 after being raised to 3.0
two years ago due to budget reasons. The change would require legislative
action.
The state is able to
expand funds for the HOPE Grants because of recent growth in lottery revenues,
according to the governor's office. In the first six months of this fiscal
year, deposits were up $32 million, a 7.6 percent increase over the same period
the year before.
Deal also announced
plans change language that would move higher education funding in Georgia from
an enrollment-based formula to an outcomes-based formula, which is recommended
by the Higher Education Funding Commission. See the commission's
report.
