<p>I know bright futures doesn't cover the summer sessions; does UF has special financial aid for summer? I'm just wondering because my summer package hasn't been fully processed.</p>
<p>Probably just loans this summer. Things are not all flowers in financial aid offices now, most everything is on hold right now. Congress, state, likely tuition increase: could be triple double ***-time coming up soon for any kind of financial aid awards, including this summer and fall.</p>

<p>I would almost imagine that with UF’s endowment they would give better financial aid for the average middle class… I have full bright futures, but it seems that, with the tuition raises, bright futures may not cover close to as much as it used to percentage wise.</p>
<p>It doesn’t. If you have 75% Bright Futures (Florida Medallion Scholars) it covers like, $94 per credit hour and UF costs $168 and some change per credit hour. So Bright Futures will give you $1128, even though the tuition cost is like $2024 and you have to cover something like $896 (unless if you have financial aid, then they take care of that for you with your Pell Grant or whatever). It is still a big help though, no matter what.</p>
<p>Pell Grants are federal and are for low income students. It’s a wonderful program but it doesn’t help people from middle class families.</p>
<p>Summer aid will be loans. I’ve heard of someone getting something other than loans for summer. Grants and scholarship type stuff is usually reserved for Fall/Spring.</p>
