Application Procedure and Deadline for the HOPE Career Grant
Application Procedure
Students have two options when applying for HOPE Career Grant funds, as part of a HOPE or Zell Miller Grant:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or,
- Complete the online Georgia Student Finance Application (GSFAPP)
Note: The FAFSA must be completed each year.
Application Deadline
The application deadline is the last day of the school term or a student's withdrawal date, whichever occurs first. The HOPE Career Grant is awarded as part of a HOPE Grant or Zell Miller Grant and it is recommended that you submit your HOPE or Zell Miller Grant application as early as possible; the earlier you apply, the earlier the funds are disbursed to your school and credited to your account.
Note: Additional college-specific application and deadline requirements may be required. Check with your postsecondary institution.
