<p>I tried emailing these questions to my counselor at UF, but she didn't really answer them and her response was confusing and grammatically incorrect...so, idk...</p>

<p>This is what it says on my Aid Status page on ISIS for Summer B.</p>

<p>Expected Parental Contribution: $1,614
Expected Student/Spouse Contribution: 0
Gross Financial Need: $1,861
Total Awards: $2,666</p>

<p>Under Additional Aid Reporting, I indicated that I have Florida Prepaid Tuition and am expecting to receive money from the Florida Bright Futures Scholars Program. On that same page, under Award Details, it says that my Predicted In-State Waiver is $2,666 for Summer B. I have a few questions:</p>

<p>What is the Predicted In-State waiver?</p>

<p>Is it just a coincidence that the Total Awards and In-State Waiver are the exact same amount?</p>

<p>Is the Expected Parental Contribution in addition to Florida Prepaid Tuition?</p>

<p>Does anyone know when we receive notice of any financial aid for the 2012/2013 Fall/Spring semester?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Bump, I originally thought it was the waiver that lowers tuition for all instate students, but since it didn’t appear in my 2012-2013 Financial aid, it makes me wonder if its something else.</p>

<p>OK, I could be wrong here but my niece is attending UCF for a term this summer and her parents were told that they can’t use Florida pre-paid for summer terms. They have to pay that in full themselves. Not sure if Bright Futures is the same way or not…</p>

<p>Thanks! I know you can’t use Bright Futures for summer. But, FPP told my mom you can use it for summer. However, it doesn’t cover all of the fees.</p>

<p>I just checked… she can’t use the pre-paid Dormitory portion for summer, it’s not allowed. But I guess the tuition part is still OK :)</p>

<p>Err, just wondering, so does anyone know what the in-state tuition waiver is?</p>
