To gain a hope scholarship you have to have a core GPA of 3.0 or higher all throughout high school. It isn't calculated on a numerical scale, however. If you receive an 81 or an 89, it counts the same. For every C in a class, you have to get an A to average out to a B. The honors 7 point curve is not counted toward the HOPE scholarship calculation. As long as you maintain an overall B average in your core classes (English/literature, math, science, social studies) then you will receive the scholarship. But you also have to keep the B average all through college or else you loose the scholarship for the following semesters until you have a B average again.
