Dear Members of the 103rd General Assembly,

With the HOPE Scholarship application process opening January 2, many of you are receiving calls from constituents with questions about
eligibility. Attached is a document that summarizes the eligibility criteria for the HOPE Scholarship and other Tennessee Education Lottery
Scholarship awards.

Perhaps the most frequently asked question regarding HOPE Scholarships is "What do I do if I am eligible?"

Two things:

1. Apply for enrollment in a Tennessee college, university or technology center 2. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),
which is the official application for HOPE.

Please feel free to refer questions about HOPE to the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation at (615) 741-1346 or to the TSAC web site at
www.state.tn.us/tsac.

If you need more information or materials about HOPE, please don't hesitate to call Michael Roberts, Executive Director of TSAC, or Dr.
Myron Oglesby-Pitts, Deputy Executive Director of TSAC.
