BCHS Scholarship Reminders
All seniors must complete the online State Financial Aid Application before graduation in order to be eligible for the Bright Futures Scholarship. The majority of seniors have already applied as counselors have met with them via English classes. Any senior who has not done so yet should go online to apply.
www.floridastudentfinancialaid.org |
Even students who are certain of attending an out-of-state college next year should apply. Students have three years to take advantage of a Bright Futures Scholarship as long as they have completed the application, and met the scholarship criteria by the end of their senior year. Please contact your student's counselor if you have any questions. |
