Financial Aid News and Announcements
The 2009 Florida Legislative Session resulted in several changes to the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program for the 2009-2010 academic year which will affect NSU Bright Futures recipients. Please review the complete listing of eligibility requirements to ensure you remain eligible on the Florida Department of Education Web site.
Some of the important changes are listed below:
- 2009-2010 Bright Futures awards are disbursed based on a per credit-hour rate established by the Florida Department of Education.
- Bright Futures recipients are required to meet new minimum credit hour requirements
- Students who drop or withdraw from any class(es), will be required to return the Bright Futures awards for those classes as a condition for renewal in the subsequent years. Students have until the end of the academic year to return these funds. However, students should be aware that they will not be able to register for future classes with an outstanding balance.
