Hi! I live in Florida and I'm aiming for the Bright Futures Scholarship. I'm a bit confused about the ACT score requirements, though. Does anyone know what ACT score is needed to qualify for a Bright Futures scholarship? Thanks in advance!
Hi there! The Bright Futures Scholarship program in Florida has three different award levels, each with its own ACT score requirement. Keep in mind that these requirements are subject to change, so it's a good idea to double-check the official Bright Futures website for the most up-to-date information. But as of now, here are the ACT score requirements for each award level:
1. Florida Academic Scholars (FAS): To qualify for the FAS, you'll need a minimum composite ACT score of 29.
2. Florida Medallion Scholars (FMS): For the FMS, you need a minimum composite ACT score of 25.
3. Gold Seal Vocational Scholars (GSV): While the GSV award doesn't have a specific ACT score requirement, you will need to achieve a minimum score of 83 on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB).
In addition to ACT scores, each award level may have other requirements such as a minimum GPA, a certain number of volunteer hours, and specific high school coursework. Make sure to review these other eligibility criteria as well to ensure you're on track for your desired Bright Futures Scholarship level.
Good luck with your scholarship quest!
