Bright Futures Scholars

To be eligible for a Florida Bright Futures award, high school seniors must submit a completed Florida Financial Aid Application to the Florida Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) after December 1st and prior to high school graduation or forfeit all future eligibility.

This application is online at http://www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org/ssfad/bf/ Students should contact their high school guidance counselor for assistance and information.

Students may be awarded Florida Academic, Florida Medallion, or Florida Gold Seal Vocational while attending PJC. Students who merit Bright Futures awards must access that aid within three years of high school graduation and no sooner than the first fall term following high school graduation.

Effective July 1, 2009, Bright Futures awards do not cover 100% of the cost of tuition nor do they cover the college-related expense allowance. Students must plan ahead to pay any balance due by fee pay day and thereafter at the time of registration.

Students who withdraw from courses after the end of schedule adjustment will be billed by the college for those hours and will be unable to register for any future term until their debt to the college is paid.

Renewal details and criterion apply and can be assessed at the Florida Office of Student Financial Aid website:  http://www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org/ssfad/bf/
