2018 Legislative Changes for Bright Futures
Governor Scott signed into law a bill that made the following changes to Bright Futures:
Florida Academic Scholars
• Provides 100 percent tuition and specified fees
• Provides $300 each fall and spring terms for educational related expenses
• Provides funding for summer enrollment, beginning in the 2018 summer term
Florida Medallion Scholars
• Provides 75 percent tuition and specified fees
• Provides funding for summer enrollment, beginning in the 2019 summer term
Florida Financial Aid Application (FFAA)
Currently, over 5,000 students statewide have met the academic requirements for the scholarship
but have not submitted an FFAA. Students who
completed the federal application (FAFSA) still need to complete the FFAA if they want to be
considered for a Bright Futures Scholarship.
