So, you are starting to think about college. If you are in your junior or senior year of high school, it is looming pretty close in the near future. There are some great schools in Florida, and with so many to look into and discover, how will you choose the right one? If you are born and raised in Florida, chances are you know someone who has attended one of the many public or private universities. If it is someone in your family, he or she may already have a bug in your ear about which school to attend, or perhaps he or she enjoys one of the many great sports teams and would love to see you become a part of the school.
The great thing about attending college in Florida is the Bright Futures college scholarship program. There are 50, 75, and 100 percent tuition coverage packages based on your high school grade point averages. That’s a huge incentive to keep your grades up. Also, with the 100 percent package, you will receive money for books, which can cost a fortune each semester.
