<p>If a student wins the florida opportunity scholarship @ University of Florida, that means that the pell grant and the florida bright futures goes straight to the students pocket? Is the florida opportunity scholarship a fixed amount? or they just pay for everything?</p>
<p>UF’s expected cost of attendance for a year is about 20k. The FOS just meets the rest of your needs to total about 20k. Let’s say your pell grant, bright future, and other scholarship/grant total to 12k. The FOS will make up the rest by giving you 8k. The cost to attend college is not the same for everyone. Say you don’t get the meal plan and live in a cheaper dorm. Then your cost will be, let’s say 17k. Then the 3k will go to your pocket.</p>
