Created in 1993 under the supervision of Gov. Zell B. Miller, the HOPE Scholarship (Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally) was meant to meet three objectives: 1) give students an opportunity to go to college who couldn’t afford to do so, 2) retain high-quality students in the state, 3) encourage students to work harder on academics. While it was effective at encouraging students to stay in state, the other two were not as effective. This episode discusses the limitations of the Hope Scholarship, from sidelining diversity to the creation of “the HOPE Mobile”.
