Georgia Zell Miller Hope vs regular Hope

<p>I can't seem to find this anywhere so I am hoping someone can answer this for me.</p>

<p>I am assuming that my son will qualify for the Zell Miller Hope Scholarship and the rest of the Georgia kids will also.:)
In order to keep the Zell Miller it says that he must have a 3.3 GPA after spring term 2014.
If he doesn't.. he loses it and he can't get it back until they check his GPA after spring term 2015.</p>

<p>The people on the regular hope only need a 3.0 GPA to maintain their scholarship.
I know it pays less.. however</p>

<p>If someone starts out with the Zell Miller and then ends up with a GPA lower than 3.3 but higher than 3.0 can they get the regular hope instead or are they dead in the water so to speak. Obviously at tech it's going to be harder to get a 3.3 for 4 years than a 3.0 so I'm wondering he could actually be worse off with the zell miller if he gets stuck in the 3-3.29 GPA range after the first year?</p>

<p>If his GPA is between 3.0 and 3.29 he would just move down to regular Hope.</p>

<p>Thank you! That’s good news.:)</p>
