HOPE Scholarship?

Question

Does the HOPE Scholarship cover the tuition for the Art Institutes college, even though it's a private school?
Please help!

Answer 1

For the straight poop, get a copy of Publication 17 of the IRS. First, it is not a scholarship, per se, but a credit against your income tax that you can take for education. Private school expenses can be covered provided the college meets IRS definitions.
