Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program

The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) State Programs, within the Florida Department of Education, administers a variety of postsecondary educational state-funded grants and scholarships and provides information to students, parents and high school and postsecondary professionals. The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program establishes three lottery-funded scholarships to reward Florida high school graduates for high academic achievement. The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is comprised of the following three awards:

  • Florida Academic Scholars Award (FAS) (including Academic Top Scholars)
  • Florida Medallion Scholars Award (FMS)
  • Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars Award (GSV)

Each award level has different academic criteria for eligibility and receives a different award amount. Contact OSFA toll-free at 1.888.827.2004 or visit the Web site at www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org/ssfad/factsheets/BF.htm

To apply for Initial Eligibility the student will need to:
  • Submit a fully completed (error free) Initial Student Florida Financial Aid Application during his/her last year in high school (after December 1 and prior to graduation) by accessing www.FloridaStudentFinancialAid.org online (select State Grants, Scholarships & Applications, then Apply Here). The application gives the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) permission to evaluate the student’s high school transcript and standardized test scores for eligibility for a Bright Futures Scholarship and other state scholarships and grants.
  • Apply during his/her last year in high school, before graduation, or forfeit all future eligibility for a Bright Futures Scholarship.

Students can initiate the application, view its status, update personal information and check application progress throughout the school year via the Florida Student Financial Aid Web site. Early application, even with only partial information to complete the application, is recommended. Applications are available directly on the Florida State Department of Education Web site: www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org/SSFAD/home/uamain.htm. Problems that your guidance counselor cannot correct will be addressed by e-mail at osfa@fldoe.org or calling 1.888.827.2004 (toll-free).

Note: Check the Web site for any changes in Bright Futures that may have been made during the year.
