Abstract	In this article, we explore the work of Marcia Gentry as it relates to Project Having Opportunities Promotes Excellence (HOPE).We describe Project HOPE, the hundreds of scholarships it provided to students from around the country, and the broader effect it had on gifted student programs at Purdue University. We also discuss how Project HOPE affected Marcia's scholarship and work related to equity issues in gifted education, as she became increasingly concerned and impatient with the inequities and slow pace of change in the field of gifted education. Finally, we reflect on the opportunities that Marcia provided her doctoral students and her role as our mentor, colleague, and friend. Marcia's legacy of providing both opportunities and mentoring has left us to be indebted to her. (As Provided).
