Bright Futures

Paying for College

<p>I've applied for the Florida's Bright Futures Scholarship and for one of the questions it asked me which postsecondary school am i planning to attend. i haven't decided yet (its between UCF and UF) but i just went ahead and put UCF. i was wondering if it mattered whether or not I actually attend UCF. like if I changed my mind and decided i wanted to go to UF would i have to inform the Bright Futures people about that? or does it even matter? thank you!</p>

<p>I just finished that today. I don't think it matters, atleast my guidance counselor told me that</p>

<p>what about out of state/in state?
i know that i won't qualify for money if i end up going out of state, but should i still select out of state? the chances of me staying in state are pretty slim</p>

<p>alejis - Be smart about this. Pick at least one in-state place where you think you can be reasonably happy, and apply for the scholarship. Who knows what your situation will be like next spring!</p>
