<p>^^if you’re referring to the $3k I mentioned above, Zell Miller is a scholarship awarded to vals and sals. Zell gets a student full tuition (unlike HOPE), plus my niece got an additional $3k merit from UGA for leadership. For her, that $11k covers tuition and fees, and she works to pay rent and other living expenses (which she has been able to keep well under what UGA calculates). She also got some Pell while her mom was out of work. She has to maintain a 3.3 to keep the Zell Miller. It is tough these days to put oneself through a flagship, and she has done very well at it (better than I did at the same school over 30 years ago).</p>
