Florida Bright Futures Scholarship

The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is administered by the Florida Department of Education. For application procedures, specific details on requirements to qualify and amount of scholarship, please contact your high school guidance office. For additional information regarding eligibility requirements, contact the Bright Futures Hotline toll-free at 888.827.2004 or view the Florida Department of Education Bright Futures Web site.

Florida Bright Futures Scholarship values have changed in recent years.  It is important those who have, or plan to have, Bright Futures be part of their financial payment process are encouraged to remain informed from their site of potential changes.  Most notably 2011, the requirement to submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) was added to the Bright Futures program.  As long as this document must be filed to retrieve your Bright Futures Scholarship, we recommend students coming to UWF submit this FAFSA prior to the March 15 Priority Deadline for Financial Aid.
