Clarification about the HOPE Scholarship: If you attended the presentation on HOPE last Tuesday at NOHS, the representative said that no AP Courses were weighted in figuring the HOPE GPA. Since that time, we have received an email retraction from the GSFC representative that AP courses are still being weighted in the same manner that they have been in the past and no change has taken place.
