Hi, folks! I'm trying to sort out scholarships and came across the Bright Futures Scholarship for Florida residents. Can anyone help me understand the minimum GPA requirement I need to get this scholarship? Thanks for any info!
Of course, happy to clarify that for you! The Bright Futures Scholarships has different tiers, each with a different GPA requirement.
1. Florida Academic Scholars (FAS): You must have a minimum 3.5 weighted GPA using the credits from specific academic courses.
2. Florida Medallion Scholars (FMS): The minimum GPA required is 3.0 weighted, also calculated using specific academic courses.
Remember, these GPAs are calculated using designated courses as per Bright Futures course table, and not all of the courses you took in high school. It's also important to note that, in addition to GPA, the scholarship has other required criteria like SAT/ACT scores and volunteer service hours, so please make sure you're meeting all other requirements as well. Don't hesitate if you have more questions!
