Lottery Scholarship Question

<p>D received her letter from the state of TN regarding lottery award. The letter acknowledges an amount of $4000. </p>

<p>However, the Lottery scholarship website states an "Award Amount - Up to $6,000 per year ..." "For students who first received the HOPE Scholarship in fall 2009 and thereafter". </p>

<p>Can anyone help me understand this gap?</p>

<p>I emailed the Lottery Scholarship and they responded saying that the award is split equally among fall, spring and summer semester ($2000 each for full time enrollment). The email also stated that same goes for GAMS. However S letter did not award anything for GAMS as yet.</p>
