2012-2013 Curriculum Guide

Bright Futures

Many seniors have completed the State of Florida Financial Aid Application which includes the Bright Futures Scholarships. Any senior hoping to qualify for one of the Bright Futures scholarships must apply online at www.FloridaStudentFinancialAid.org .
Please encourage your senior to apply NOW even if they know they will not qualify until after second semester. Students who plan to attend college outside of Florida are encouraged to apply as well. The BF programs may allow for a student to tap into the money if they return to Florida to complete their degree.
The state has two processing times for BF scholarships:

• The first processing time will begin around the end of January/ beginning of February. It will include grades earned through 1st semester of the 2013-2014 school year, test scores through January 2014 and documentation of community service hours (deadline TBA). The student will receive notice of their BF status directly from the State of Florida via email and/or US postal service.
• Students who do not qualify first semester or who hope to qualify for a higher award will have the opportunity to do so through second semester. To qualify after second semester; the student must earn the required GPA after completion of 2nd semester grades, the required test scores by June 2014 and submitted documentation of community service hours by graduation. Records for all students who apply for BF will automatically be re-processed after second semester. This process usually takes place in late June or early July.

Only seniors who qualify after 1st semester will be announced as Bright Future recipients during the Awards Ceremony in May.

11th Grade to 12th Grade:   A minimum of seventeen (17) total credits earned in Grades 9 through 11 of which at least nine (9) fulfill course requirements.  At least two (2) credits must be earned in English, two (2) mathematics, two (2) science, one (1) social studies and a 2.0 GPA.

Second Year Seniors:  When a student, after completing one full year with classification as a senior, lacks the 24 credits or the 2.0 GPA required for graduation, he/she may return to Wakulla High School as a second year senior on a part-time basis to complete the requirements for graduation.
