Hope Scholarship/Hope Grant
Mrs. Chris KimbroCounselor
HOPE ScholarshipStudents must have a 3.0 average in all
academic courses Language Arts Math Social Studies Science Modern/Classical Language
HOPE Scholarship All English, math, science, social studies and
modern language coursework attempted in the student’s high school career (grades 9-12) will be counted toward the HOPE Scholarship cumulative GPA.
Unweighted numeric grades will be converted to the 4.0 scale.
Advanced Placement classes are weighted, meaning 10 points are added to the final grade. These points are subtracted, the grade is converted to the 4.0 scale and .5 is added to that class’ GPA up to a total of 4.0 per class grade.
HOPE ScholarshipExamples for figuring the Grade Point Average for
an Advanced Placement class
Final grade of 95 – 10 = 85 85 = 3.0 + .5 = 3.5
Final grade of 85 – 10 = 7575 = 2.0 + .5 = 2.5
Final grade of 75 – 10 = 6565 = 0.0 + .5 = .5
