Yes I can say the same in the US. My state paid full tuition for B average and above students if you went to a college in the state. After a little over a year I took off and went back to school while working at a later point. By that time I qualified for federal tuition aid but lost my state one. It wasn’t much over $20k for 5 years out of pocket for me.
Georgia’s hope scholarship did in the 2000s. Now Hope doesn’t cover everything but there’s something called the Zell Miller grant that you can get in conjunction with Hope that pretty much pays most of tuition like the old program. Hope is funded by the lottery.
