Stillwood Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just asking, because someone told me they are not. If eligible, will student need SAT or ACT scores when they have College Placement scores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGK Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I know a senior who is receiving a Bright Futures Medallion Scholars Award, and he has enough dual enrollment credits to receive his AA. Based on my second-hand information, I would say yes on eligibility. Hopefully, someone with personal experience will chime in about standardized test scores. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Are you in FL? Or is there Bright Futures elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) So long as the student has been home educating (registered with the county and not an umbrella school) for the 11th and 12th grades, dual-enrollment should not affect Bright Futures. Actually, even if the student is dual-enrolled through a private or public school, s/he should be eligible for BF, just not per the home education status. If the student is applying for BF as a home educated student, only SAT/ACT scores can be used, not placement scores used by a community college. Lisa ETA: Here is a link to the Bright Futures site. There is a lady who coordinates all home education students and she was very helpful when ds1 applied.

2cents Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 We're in FL and my son was homeschool dual-enrolled from 10th (now graduated and in 3rd year college) and he has a Florida Academic Scholar Bright Futures scholarship. He got his award based on his ACT score. He had to also put in a min. of 75 hours volunteer work to qualify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it states at BF website that a CPT plus gpa of 3.0 qualifies for Gold Seal, homeschoolers must have the ACT rather than CPT? Right?
