<p>Has anyone had their financial aid disbursed yet?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if you can get suspended from financial aid for having a 2.5 term gpa in the fall? (silly question, but just curious)</p>
<p>I’m not sure what kind of FA you’re talking about, but Bright Futures doesn’t settle until after add/drop, which ends today. I’d say within the next week.</p>
<p>I’m not sure about your GPA question. It depends on your specific FA and what the renewal eligibility requirements are.</p>
<p>I don’t remember: Are we supposed to pay before financial aid comes out and then get reimbursed, or wait until financial aid (even after the 14th)?</p>
<p>If you have bright futures, you have to keep above a 3.0 GPA. You will probably be put into a probationary period this semester. You need to SFA to determine what happens at that point. Goodluck.</p>
<p>The GPA for Bright Futures depends on which one you have. If you have the Florida Academic Scholars or 100% it’s 3.0, but the Florida Medallion Scholars or 75% is 2.75.</p>
<p>Also it’s the cumulative GPA they look at and it’s determined at the end of the Spring semester. They also give you summer to bring it up.</p>
<p>Has anyone’s bright futures disbursed yet?</p>
<p>^^^^^
D’s Robert C Byrd and Florida Academic Scholars (bright futures) awards have been dispursed, as of 1/14/11, I believe. Still waiting on her National Merit Stipend.</p>
<p>zebes</p>
<p>zebes, is the byrd scholarship just for one year? or is there a way to get it again next year?</p>
<p>Hmmm, I wonder why I didn’t get mine yet, I also got the Robert Byrd’s scholarship last term, but haven’t gotten that yet either??</p>
<p>my robert Byrd scholarship has already disbursed for this semester, along with the UF Presidential scholarship, but not bright futures</p>
<p>Bright Futures looks like they posted to students’ accounts 1/16. Normally we’d get them deposited today in the bank, but due to the holiday, you’ll probably see it tomorrow.</p>
<p>Mine just got posted to my account today, I wonder why it was so much slower than all of yours</p>
