FAQS AND ANSWERS TO SUBMITTED QUESTIONS
HOPE HSE Grant InformationEligibility RequirementsCompleting an
ApplicationAnswers to Submitted Questions
How do I apply for the HOPE HSE Grant?
You can apply for the HOPE HSE Grant by completing an application online at
https://hsegrant.tcsg.edu/login. Please note that the grant is subject to an
annual appropriation and availability of state funding.
Who is eligible for the HOPE HSE Grant?
The High School Equivalency Examination Grant program requires students to meet
basic requirements. An eligible student must:
* Meet U.S. citizenship or eligible non-citizen requirement;
* Meet TCSG’s Georgia Residency requirement, for at least 12 months immediately
prior to seating for the state-approved HSE examination;
* Meet federal Selective Service registration requirement, per Georgia state
law. The requirement to register applies to males who were born on or after
January 1, 1960, are at least 18, are citizens or eligible non-citizens who
came to the United States prior to age 26;
* Be in compliance with the Georgia Drug-Free Postsecondary Education Act of
1990, O.C.G.A. §20-1-20, et seq.
How many times can I apply for the HOPE HSE Grant?
Applicants can apply ONCE for each subject area test of the examination. For
example, the GED consists of four subject tests, so four grants are available.
Applicants may request one grant at a time, or multiple grants in one request.
Once you’ve been awarded a HOPE HSE Examination Grant, it will expire 60 days
from the date of the successful practice test for that subject. Grant approval
is subject to funding availability.
Note: As part of the application process, applicants must provide information to
verify eligibility for the grant. Eligibility determinations are valid for one
year.
I want to sit for my GED examination, but how do I know I’m ready?
Individuals must pass a practice test to determine readiness before applying for
a HOPE HSE Grant.
Where can I use my HOPE HSE Grant?
You can use your HOPE HSE Grant at any TCSG-approved testing site or for an
online proctored test.
Once approved, how long do I have to use my HOPE HSE Grant?
HOPE HSE Grants expire 60 days from the day you pass your HSE practice test for
that subject.
Upon approval, how long will it take before I receive the HOPE HSE Grant?
Approved applicants can expect to receive their grant within 3-5 business days
of approval.
English is not my first language. Is the examination available in other
languages?
Yes. Individuals can opt to take each subject area exam in English or Spanish.
I used a HOPE HSE Grant to pay for an examination, but I did not pass one or
more subject areas of the test. Can I apply for another grant to make a second
attempt at the examination?
No. Eligible applicants get one attempt to pass each subject area test of an
examination using a HOPE HSE Grant. For example, if you used a HOPE HSE Grant to
pay for a mathematics test but did not pass, you cannot reapply for a HOPE HSE
Grant in mathematics. However, if you have never applied for a HOPE HSE Grant in
social studies, you can still apply for a social studies HOPE HSE Grant.
I was approved for a HOPE HSE Grant, but it expired before I had a chance to use
it. Can I reapply for another Grant?
Yes. You will need to reapply for the grant by completing an application online.
If your practice test is older than 60 days for a given subject area, you’ll
need to complete a new practice test before reapplying.
Can I use the HOPE HSE Grant for a HiSET exam?
At this time, the HOPE HSE Grant is not available for the HiSET examination.
Check the TCSG Adult Education Website for updates regarding when the HiSET exam
will become available.
Can I transfer my HOPE HSE Grant to another person?
No. HOPE HSE Grants are non-transferable and carry no cash value.
I still have questions about the HOPE HSE Grant Application. Who can I contact?
For questions or assistance with the HOPE HSE Grant Application, applicants can
email HSEGrant@tcsg.edu or call 404-679-1645.
Where can I find additional information about the GED?
The GED test covers four subjects: Math, Science, Social Studies, and Reasoning
Through Language Arts. You can take all four together or one at a time at an
official GED test center when you’re ready. You can learn more about the GED by
visiting www.ged.com.
I need help preparing for my GED examination. How can I find help?
Adult Education providers across Georgia offer FREE classes to eligible students
to help you prepare for the GED or HiSET test. Visit our Adult Education Program
Directory to find a class near you.
I received either the HOPE Scholarship or the Zell Miller Scholarship once
before. Can I still apply for the HOPE HSE Grant?
No. An individual is ineligible for payment if they began seeking a college
Degree or received HOPE or Zell Miller Scholarship payment prior to sitting for
a state-approved High School Equivalency Examination.
What is an eligible non-citizen?
An eligible non-citizen is a person who, in accordance with the Federal Title IV
definition, is a United
States permanent resident with:
* a Permanent Resident Card (I-551); or a conditional permanent resident
(I-551C); or
* the holder of an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of

established and maintained a domicile in the State of Georgia for at least 12

How can I check my Selective Service System registration or register for
Selective Service System?
You can verify your Selective Service System registration by visiting
www.sss.gov. Men 18-25 can register online with a valid Social Security Number,
a printable registration form, or by completing a form (SSS Form 1) at the post
office. Once a man turns 26, he is no longer able to register.
I’m a male who failed to register with the U.S. Selective Service System before
turning 26 years old. Am I disqualified from receiving a HOPE HSE Grant?
A Selective Service Exemption Request form can be completed by an applicant that
failed to meet the requirement to register for Selective Service between the
ages of 18-25 and did not knowingly and willfully not register with Selective
Service. Applicants who are non-eligible citizens with no social security number

I still qualify for the HOPE HSE Grant?
No. Individuals who have a federal or state educational loan in default status

institution as indicated by a foreign academic transcript, are not eligible for
the HOPE HSE Grant.
I am 16- or 17 years old. Am I eligible for a HOPE HSE Grant?
Yes, 16- and 17-year-olds are eligible to participate in the HOPE HSE Grant
program. 16- and 17-year-olds must enroll in a state-approved Adult Education

What is a notary?
A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by the state government —
typically by the secretary of state — to serve the public as an impartial
witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the
signing of important documents.
Where can I obtain notary services?
Notaries are often available to customers at many businesses offering financial
services, automobile title transfers, shipping services, and more. Some examples
include banks, law firms or law offices, real estate firms or offices, tax
preparer or accountant offices, photocopy shops, parcel shipping stores, auto
tag and license service centers, colleges and universities, and libraries. We
encourage applicants to seek assistance at their closest TCSG college. Colleges
(Adult Ed Division of the college) have notaries on staff who can provide notary
services at no charge.
I am currently enrolled in a state-funded Adult Education program and completed
a notarized affidavit when I enrolled in classes. Do I still need to submit a
notarized affidavit for the HOPE HSE Grant?
Yes, all HOPE HSE Grant applicants, including currently enrolled Adult Education
students, must complete a separate notarized affidavit specifically for the HOPE
HSE Grant demonstrating their lawful presence in Georgia.
