Florida Bright Futures

Can I receive both Florida Bright Futures and Florida Pre-Paid?

Yes, and this is how it works:

Florida Bright Futures (FBF) funds are received from the State of Florida at the end of the first week of classes each semester. FBF will send funds in the amount of the scholarship you will be receiving to cover tuition.
