ACCEL – a non-need based program offered for students that wish to take college leve (academic only, degree level) coursework for credit
DUAL HOPE GRANT – a non-need based grant program for students seeing technical certificates or diplomas from the technical college system ofGeorgia’s institutions
MOVE ON WHEN READY – requires an eligible 11th or 12th grade student to be full time and take all of his or her courses through an eligible post-secondary institution.
