The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship is a state-funded program designed to provide financial assistance to high school graduates in Florida. It rewards students for their academic achievements and encourages them to pursue higher education at eligible colleges, universities, and vocational schools within the state. There are three main award levels: the Florida Academic Scholars, Florida Medallion Scholars, and Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars. Each level has specific eligibility criteria, including GPA, standardized test scores, and community service hours. The scholarship can cover tuition and fees, making college more accessible for Florida students.
