Bright Futures

The Bright Futures Scholarship is funded by the State of Florida and is awarded to high school students meeting the required criteria for the scholarship. Currently, we have approximately 850 students attending Gulf Coast Community College who receive the scholarship. Bright Futures students will receive a letter from the Florida Department of Education notifying them of their eligibility.  The letter will have the procedures for the student to follow to ensure they receive their funds at the appropriate institution.  If GCCC is the selected school and the student receives the letter of eligibility by July 1, the scholarship may be used to pay fees if the student has completed an application for admission and declared a major prior to registration! If fees are not paid by the scholarship at the time of registration, the student should contact Rowena Gammons @ 850-872-3844 or email at rgammons@gulfcoast.edu.
