Bright Futures Test Deadline Is Here For Recent Florida High School Grads

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) – Today, December 1st, is the qualification deadline for recent high-school graduates to meet SAT or ACT test-score requirements to qualify for Bright Futures scholarships.

Gov. Ron DeSantis extended the deadline in September for students who graduated from high school during the 2019-2020 academic year, which was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic.

After school campuses closed, the Florida Department of Education said that an estimated 32,000 students had met all Bright Futures requirements except minimum SAT or ACT scores.
