The Bright Futures program handed out its first scholarships to students entering college in 1997. The program gave out $429 million in scholarships in the 2008-2009 school year, its high-water mark. But then the Great Recession hit, and lawmakers were forced to scale back.
To qualify for a Bright Futures Florida Academic Scholars award â the most selective and lucrative scholarship â students have to score at least 1290 on the SAT or 29 on the ACT. Those scores put students nearly in the top 10 percent nationwide. In 2012 those students needed a 1270 on the SAT or 28 on the ACT. More students qualify for the Florida Medallion Scholarship â thatâs what Seiler just missed out on. Over three years, the minimum score rose from 970 to 1170 on the SAT and from 20 to 26 on the SAT. And this year was the highest increase.
