| Florida Medallion, Florida Gold Seal and Florida Academic Scholarship Recipients: Florida Medallion and Florida Gold Seal recipients should be advised that, prior to disbursement, the amount which appears on the student’s account is an amount based on an estimated 15 credits of enrollment. Recipients of these programs should contact the Controller’s Office during the first week of classes to verify the residual amount of their fees not covered by their scholarship. If you have not accepted additional financial aid to pay this residual amount, it is your responsibility to pay the balance by the semester’s last day to pay deadline to avoid a late payment fee of $100.00. |

To determine your balance due, go to the Controller's Office in the Boca Campus Administration building or the Cashier's Office at the Davie or Jupiter Campuses. Bright Futures Scholarship is NOT available during the Summer terms.
If you are receiving both BRIGHT FUTURES and Florida Prepaid Tuition:
Students living OFF-CAMPUS can expect to receive a refund. You will not have to pay local fees because it will be deducted from the combination of the Bright Futures and Florida Prepaid. Bright Futures will be applied to your student account first and the Florida Prepaid will be posted approximately two weeks after the drop/add period. Students will receive a refund for the amount that exceeds your tuition.
Students living ON-CAMPUS should deduct the Bright Futures scholarship and the Florida Prepaid contribution from the total charges (Fee Payment).
