The GA Hope Scholarship still provides tuition to B students.


More for your information:

September 2003 - Perdue pushes to tie HOPE to SAT scores, threatening
to cut the number of eligible students in half.
January 2004 - Perdue unilaterally cuts HOPE funds
May 2004 - Perdue backs efforts to retroactively limit HOPE benefits
February 2005 - Perdue raids HOPE funds for pet project

You really should credit the people when you cut and paste articles.

The SAT scores provides a uniform bar to evaluate students test scores,
too many students were being given B grades who did not have the skills
to succeed in college.

What pet projects did Perdue raid the Hope funds? My understanding is
that this is illegal. Can you provide a link that discusses the
specific pet projects he funded by "rading the Hope Funds".
