In 1997, the Florida Legislature created the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship
Program to reward students for their academic achievements during high school by providing
funding to attend postsecondary education in Florida.
Students must refund to their institution
the cost of any dropped or withdrawn
Bright Futures funded course.
Students will receive a flat cost per credit hour award during the
2009-10 academic year. Link here for the
2009-10 Bright Futures award amounts.
Florida Academic Scholars will not receive a college-related expense
allowance for 2009-10.
Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars may no longer renew to Florida
Medallion Scholars and may only receive funding for a total of 90
semester hours (or the equivalent).
2010 High School Graduates

beginning December 1, 2009, and

GED, and
