The H.O.P.E. Scholarship Program is an education initiative in cooperation with the Lansing School District, the City of Lansing, Lansing Community College, Michigan State University, the Lansing Police Department, YMCA, and in cooperation with local businesses and private citizens.

The H.O.P.E. Scholarship Program offers Lansing School district youth an opportunity for a college education and a brighter future.  Students are initiated into the program as sixth graders.  Students promise to graduate from a high school in the Lansing School District and live it the district's boundaries in exchange for two years of free tuition at Lansing Community College.  The students are chosen by their school based on their ability to utilize the program.

The first cohort of H.O.P.E. Scholars started at  Lansing Community College in the fall of 2007.
