Issue Position: Preserving HOPE

Issue Position

The HOPE Scholarship program has been one of the most successful programs in our state's history. It has provided access to a college or technical school for countless students. However, the popularity and success of HOPE has also led to serious funding challenges over the last several years. To help preserve HOPE, several reform packages, including one proposed by Governor Deal this past Session, have been passed by the General Assembly. I have proudly supported each of these legislative remedies and have proposed my own package as well. Preserving HOPE and what it offers our students has been and remains one of my top priorities in the Senate.
