The state of Georgias HOPE scholarship program guarantees fully paid tuition to Georgia public universities for Georgia
Question:
The state of Georgia’s HOPE scholarship program guarantees fully paid tuition to Georgia public universities for Georgia high school seniors who have a B average in academic requirements as long as they maintain a B average in college. (See “Who Loses HOPE? Attrition from Georgia’s College Scholarship Program” (Southern Economic Journal [1999]: 379–390).) It was reported that 53.2% of a random sample of 137 students entering Ivan Allen College at Georgia Tech (social science and humanities) with a HOPE scholarship lost the scholarship at the end of the first year because they had a GPA of less than 3.0. It was also reported that 72 of a random sample of 111 students entering the College of Computing with a B average had lost their HOPE scholarship by the end of the first year. Is there evidence that the proportion who lose HOPE scholarships is different for the College of Computing than for the Ivan Allen College?
