Florida Bright Futures?

[Pandapurse]

I was reading a brochure on the Bright Futures scholarships, and it says that the 100% scholarship for private schools in Florida will pay "equal to 100 percent of the funding required for them to attend a public institution." I'm a little confused about this. What does it mean? I want to attend private colleges in Florida, and I'm curious to know how much it will really cost. Thanks.

It means Bright Futures would pay for the average price of tuition for a Florida state school. UF and FSU has an annual tution of about $3,000 in-state, so Bright Futures would probably pay for about $3,000 out of your tuition if you attend a private school.

since the public school keep raising tuition, it shouldkeep going up and up...i go to a private school and this year it was 4200, next year it may be close to 5k

if you are qualifying for 100% bright futures, you will get the FRAG which is close to another 4k

My numbers are actually a little different than above, so I think on average, the 100% bright futures will pay for at least $4,000, and the FRAG will pay for $3,000. The money given will be a little less or a little more depending on your EFC and the financial aid package from the school.
