“The HOPE and Shirley Miller Scholarships have helped me, not only with my tuition, but also with my life overall,” said Monica Kearse, senior multimedia film and production major. “Without them, I would not be in college.”
The Shirley Miller Scholarship provides HOPE Scholars a supplement that pays the difference between their HOPE award and the cost of tuition. The scholarship is named in honor of former Georgia First Lady Shirley Miller in recognition of her lifelong contributions to education.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp delivered updates on the state of Georgiaâs COVID-19 vaccination procedures in a press conference Friday afternoon, including changes in those who can administer the vaccine, expanding eligible recipients for the vaccine and tentative plans for the 2021-2022 school year.Â
Kemp reiterated last weekâs expansion of phase 1A criteria to include those over 65 years old as well as firefighters, law enforcement and first responders. He said members of those groups will soon be able to schedule their vaccination appointments, should supply of the vaccine be available. The expansion will go into effect on Jan. 11.Â
âI am happy to report that beginning soon, Georgians over 65 and those other priority populations can visit the Georgia Department of Public Healthâs website to find locations in your community where you can schedule an appointment for the vaccine,â Kemp said. Â
