HOPE Scholarship Recipients
The HOPE Scholarship covers the cost of tuition and most fees and provides a stipend for books. The HOPE Scholarship does not pay for the Freshman College program fee. During the online tuition payment process students have the option of allowing the book stipend to pay for additional fees that HOPE does not cover. If a student does not opt to have the book stipend pay for these fees then the student’s check will be mailed to his/her permanent address.
