I'm planning to apply for the Bright Futures scholarship. Can anyone fill me in on the required ACT scores to be eligible for it? Thanks!
The Bright Futures scholarship program in Florida offers different levels of scholarships, each with its own set of requirements. Keep in mind that requirements can change from year to year, but as of now, here are the ACT score requirements for each award level:
1. Florida Academic Scholars (FAS) Award: To be eligible for the FAS award, you need a composite ACT score of at least 29.
2. Florida Medallion Scholars (FMS) Award: For the FMS award, the minimum composite ACT score requirement is 25.
In addition to ACT scores, there are other eligibility requirements for these scholarships, such as community service hours, high school GPA, and specific coursework. For FAS, you need a minimum 3.5 weighted GPA and 100 hours of community service. For FMS, the requirements are a minimum 3.0 weighted GPA and 75 community service hours.
