3 new loan programs should provide more HOPE
It’s an interesting idea —- one at the core of the HOPE scholarship launched by former Gov. Zell Miller. The idea is that if youngsters know early enough that money need not be a barrier to a college education, they’ll study harder and focus earlier. HOPE said to Georgians that if you take education seriously and maintain a B average, on graduation from high school a stipend will be provided to cover tuition, most fees and some books at public colleges and up to $1,750 at private institutions.
