As UF academic advisors know, the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program can be a difficult program to explain to students. The frequent legislative changes make it difficult to maintain a consistent, accurate message.
This is certainly the case when it comes to Bright Futures renewal requirements. Students and advisors are generally provided with charts and guidelines, but it can still be a difficult subject to explain. To make the Bright Futures renewal process easier to understand, UF’s Office for Student Financial Affairs (SFA) has created a handy tool for advisors and students—the Bright Futures Renewal Predictor.

The Predictor condenses the Bright Futures renewal process down to a single pull-down menu and two input fields. Simply choose the Bright Futures program level and input the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 hours of enrollment. The predictor tells you how many hours are required for 2012-13 renewal, as well as specifying the required GPA. Easy? Yes. Accurate? Yes, as long as accurate information is provided.
