Valdosta, GA – The Adult Education program of Wiregrass Georgia Technical College is offering the new HOPE High School Equivalency (HSE) Exam Grant where GED® candidates could earn their HSE diploma for free. Those qualifying for the grant would be able to take the test for free, not to exceed $200. This will cover the cost of the high school equivalency examination.

The grant will be available once per subject area exam. Currently, the grant is only available for those seeking to earn their GED® Exam. Applications will be accepted until HOPE HSE Grant program funds are exhausted.
