Students who enrolled at least full time in either a fall or spring semester, will have a Spring checkpoint at the end of the spring semester. If you do not have the minimum GPA required at your '90-hour Tier Checkpoint', you will no longer qualify for HOPE Scholarship. If you do not maintain the minimum GPA requirement, you will not be eligible for the HOPE Scholarship until you reach the next 'Tier Checkpoint'. At the end of the semester that you reach a 'Tier Checkpoint', your HOPE GPA must be at least a 3.0 in order to renew your scholarship. It is important that you understand the hours that are included in the definition of 'Attempted-Hours'. These tiers are reached when you have ATTEMPTED 30, 60 and 90 hours.

If you are interested in other types of financial aid (i.e., PELL Grant and Stafford Loans) in addition to the HOPE Scholarship, you must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at after October 1st each year for the upcoming academic year which begins each Fall semester. If you complete the GSFApps after your freshman year, please contact our office to ensure we have been successful in accessing your application. If you are ONLY interested in receiving the HOPE Scholarship you may complete the GSFApps at This is a one-time application so there is no need to reapply each year. This depends on the application you choose to complete.
