STEM Weighted Courses

STEM Weighted Courses
Study these important and high-demand areas while ensuring your high HOPE GPA based upon the rigor of these courses!
As an initiative of the Georgia Student Finance Commission, student recipients of the HOPE scholarship have the opportunity to boost their HOPE GPA by taking STEM courses.
Courses included in this directory are specific degree-level science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses leading to high-demand careers in Georgia. These courses will have an additional weight of 0.5 added to grades of B (3.0), C (2.0) and D (1.0) to boost HOPE recipients' HOPE GPAs only. Grades of A and F do not qualify for the additional STEM weight. This boost does not apply to an institutional (UWG) GPA.
