For FLORIDA Residents Only
In order to apply for State Scholarship & Grant Programs, a student must first Create a Student Account. After logging into your account, you may proceed to complete the Florida Financial Aid Application (FFAA). Students must submit a completed FFAA to the Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) for programs such as Bright Futures and Scholarship for Children and Spouses of Deceased or Disabled Veterans (CDDV).
The FFAA asks questions to determine what Florida scholarship and grant programs a student may be eligible to receive. This is not to be confused with the FAFSA®.
A note about Bright Futures - While Eckerd College is a test optional school, the Florida Academic Scholars (FAS) and Florida Medallion Scholars (FMS) awards do require a minimum composite score on the ACT®, combined SAT® score or Overall Score on the Classic Learning Test (CLT®).
