From the State of Florida's web site for the Bright Futures Program:

The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program establishes three lottery-funded scholarships to reward Florida high school graduates for high academic achievement.  The Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program is comprised of the following three awards:

Florida Academic Scholars Award (FAS)
   (including Academic Top Scholars award (ATS)
Florida Medallion Scholars Award (FMS)
Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars Award (GSV) (NOTE: Stanton students do not qualify for this program)

The Bright Futures Programs

Stanton students are eligible for the FAS and the FMS. Both of these programs have specific GPA requirements. The GPA that is used is different from those listed on the student's Academic History that is sent home with the report card at the end of the year. On the Academic History, there is a State GPA and a District GPA, but neither of these are used to qualify for the Bright Futures.  The GPA required for the Bright Futures has already been calculated for every Stanton student at http://facts.org. Students should go to http://facts.org, click on the option for "High School Students," and then under the column heading "Plan and Track Progress," and click on "Check Bright Futures Scholarship Eligibility." On the next page, if you have never created an account, then you must choose "New User? Create Login ID and Password."
