Hold On to HOPE

Hold On to HOPE is a recovery initiative designed to disperse scholarship dollars to help students who have lost HOPE.

If you are close to the 30, 60, or 90 hour check-point and have the ability to raise your GPA to at least a 3.0, there's a chance you can regain your HOPE scholarship.

This $1,000 scholarship is dispersed in two $500 increments for one academic year. The first $500 is awarded once you are admitted into the program. The next $500 is awarded when you complete the requirements of the program.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
