The 2023 Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1537, which became Chapter 2023-39, Laws of Florida, upon the approval of Governor DeSantis on May 9, 2023. Included in the bill are the following modifications to initial eligibility requirements necessary for students to qualify for a Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program award that became effective July 1, 2023:
Permitting students to combine volunteer service and paid work hours;
Authorizing students to earn a concordant score on the Classic Learning Test (CLT) to meet the minimum test score requirement; and
Revising the list of courses that receive additional weights for the purpose of calculating students' grade point averages (GPA) for BF purposes.
Service Hour Requirement:
Effective July 1, 2023, students graduating in the 2022-23 academic year and thereafter may satisfy the service hour requirement for a specific Bright Futures program by completing the statutory required number of volunteer service hours, 100 paid work hours, or a combination of both. The combination of volunteer service hours and paid work hours must equal a minimum of 100 total hours to fulfill the service hour requirement. Eligible paid work hours completed on or after June 27, 2022, may be included retroactively in the calculation of the student’s total paid work hours completed. Please ensure that all completed hours are included on students’ final transcripts.
