III. G.P.A. and Graduation Credit Requirements (cont.)
• To calculate GPA, add up the points you have received and divide that number by the number of credits that you have attempted.
EXAMPLE: Joe has the following grades:Algebra I B (3 points)Earth Space Science A (4 points)English I C (2 points)HOPE B (3 point)World History C (1 point) Add the points (13) and divide by attempted credits (5).13 / 5 = 2.6 grade point average

VI. Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program (cont.)
What is the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program?
• In 1997, the Florida Legislature created the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship Program. This Florida Lottery-funded scholarship rewards students for their academic achievements during high school by providing funding for them to pursue postsecondary educational and career goals in Florida.
Each year, the legislature meets to decide what Bright Futures will look like. That means the eligibility and award amounts can change from year to year. The following includes the most recent information.
