Regaining Hope Scholarship

Hi, just wanted to talk to some people who regained the Hope scholarship after losing it due to taking time off. The fall semester of my Sophomore year I had to take time off due to a change in my living arrangements. I went back after taking that spring semester off and completed my AS. I got accepted into UTK and would like to know about regaining the Hope scholarship. I talked to some people at the advising office and they told me to call Robert Biggers, which I did, and left him a voicemail.

If anyone has gotten the Hope scholarship back for taking time off, instead of for academic reasons I would like to know what the process is. My GPA is a 3.6, if that will be figured into consideration. Thank you!
