Bright Futures Information
FAQs for Bright Futures
Can I receive Bright Futures during the summer semester?
Yes, students who meet the Bright Futures Eligibility Requirements and are enrolled in at least 6 credit hours during the summer semester are eligible to receive disbursements per their specific Bright Futures award. Please note, Bright Futures does not cover excess credit hour surcharges during any semester.
If you are enrolled in less than 6 credit hours during the summer, but have applied for graduation, Bright Futures may pay for the hours required to graduate (up to 6 hours).
Will Bright Futures cover tuition if I have over 120 credit hours?
The Bright Future scholarship covers 120 credit hours, which is equivalent to the duration of the BSN program. However, if you exceed this total due to major changes, dual degrees or being off map, etc., you can complete a Bright Futures Extension Form to request an extension which you can complete on your own and then email to Anna Stine, Academic Program Specialist at (ays05@fsu.edu) for a signature or you can come to the Office of Student Services, Suite 104, to have this form completed. The CON does not approve or deny the extension request, this is done by the Bright Futures program. Please note, requests for extensions beyond 6 hours are not typically granted. The link to the form is below.
