Planning estimate for the standard SAT-based FAS/FMS pathway, not an award decision. This checks only the score, GPA and hours entered. Coursework, residency, application deadlines and other requirements still apply; ACT, CLT, AICE/IB, home education and other pathways may differ. OSFA determines final eligibility. Requirements checked September 11, 2026 against the August 2026 Bright Futures Student Handbook. Confirm approved hours and completion deadlines with your school counselor.

Based on the official Bright Futures handbook

Choose the high-school graduation year, then enter the SAT score, Bright Futures GPA and approved hours. This estimator checks those inputs against the standard FAS/FMS SAT pathway for the classes of 2027 and 2028. Coursework, the FFAA, residency and other requirements still apply.

FAS covers 100% of eligible public tuition and applicable fees; FMS generally covers 75%, with 100% coverage for an associate degree program at a Florida College System institution. Eligible private institutions use fixed comparable award amounts. This tool estimates criteria met, not a dollar award or the full cost of college.

Sources checked September 11, 2026: the August 2026 Bright Futures Student Handbook, Chapter 1: eligibility and Chapter 2: funding. Our handbook companion explains where to find each rule.
