State Scholarships
The State of Georgia has several financial aid programs including
Georgia's Hope Scholarship. If you are convicted of a felony drug offense,
you will lose your scholarship for the school term in which the
conviction occurred as well as the following term. No early
reinstatement is allowed, and First Offender treatment will not save
your scholarship.
OCGA § 20-3-519.1
Federal Scholarships
If you are convicted of ANY drug offense,
including a State misdemeanor marijuana charge, you will lose your
scholarship for a minimum period of one year, and could lose it
indefinitely. Early reinstatement is possible if certain criteria
are satisfied.
One Final Thing
- You
Can Be Suspended From Any University System of Georgia School Just
For Being Charged With Certain Crimes
"A student in
any institution of the University System of Georgia who is charged
with or indicted for a felony or crime involving moral turpitude,
may be suspended pending the disposition of the criminal charges
against him."
