Georgia HOPE Scholarship

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am currently under an E-2 visa (under my dad), and was wondering if I'm eligible for the HOPE Scholarship. I did find this statement:</p>

<p>"Eligible Non-Citizen" means a person who, in accordance with the Federal Title IV Regulations, is a United States permanent resident with a Permanent Resident Alien Card (I-551); or a conditional permanent resident (I-551C); or the holder of an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations: "Refugee", "Asylum Granted", "Parolee" (I-94 confirms paroled for a minimum of one year and status has not expired); or "Cuban-Haitian Entrant". Victims of human trafficking, in accordance with the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, may also be considered Eligible Non-Citizens. Persons with an F1 or F2 visa, a J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa, or a G series visa are not Eligible Non-Citizens.</p>

<p>...it doesn't state anything about E-2 visas.</p>

<p>I do, however, have the I-94 document. I've been living in the US for almost 13 years and my mom just recently got her green card, and soon she will refer me for mine.</p>

<p>So am I still eligible or no?
I've called the admission offices for several colleges and even the GACollege411 people but they weren't too sure about it and did not give me a definite answer.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I don’t think you’re eligible; unless you have “green card” or equivalent.</p>
