Keep HOPE Alive
The Albany State University (ASU) Office of Financial Aid has developed the 'Keep HOPE Alive' scholarship. The scholarship will allow students who have lost their HOPE Scholarship to remain at the University while they work to regain the scholarship. This scholarship is completed in collaborated with the ASU Advisement Center, and Academic Coaching to develop a program that is designed to help students regain HOPE eligibility within the next re-entry checkpoint.
How it Works
Don't Lose Hope if You Lose Hope
An invitation to participate in ‘Keep HOPE Alive’ is extended to all students whose grade point average (GPA) falls just below the HOPE Scholarship requirement. Students who participate in ‘Keep HOPE Alive’ will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship upon completion of the program requirements. The scholarship will be awarded at the end of each academic term.
Scholarship Criteria
- Open to freshman and sophomore HOPE recipients with a 2.76 – 2.99 GPA.
- Students must pursue a minimum of 30 credit hours within the next academic year (fall, spring, and summer semesters).
- Students must attend Student Success Workshops hosted by First-Year & Transition Programs.
- Students must meet regularly with their academic coach.
- Students are required to attend mandatory advisement sessions offered by the University Advisement Center.
By signing a contract to receive $500 for each of the first two semesters after losing the scholarship, students agree to participate in a series of programs and interventions designed to get them back on track academically and to make wise financial choices in the aftermath of losing the scholarship.
