| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) has identified the 2013/2014 high school graduates for the Bright Futures Academic Top Scholar (ATS) award in each county for the 2014/2015 award year.
Florida Academic Scholars who received funding for the fall term at an eligible Florida postsecondary institution are ranked based on the product of their highest Bright Futures GPA and their best SAT/ACT composite score as reported for their Florida Academic Scholars (FAS) award eligibility. One recipient in each district (including public and private high schools) is designated the Academic Top Scholar award providing additional funding towards the cost of postsecondary tuition. Olivia Moumne, 2014 Robinson High School International Baccalaureate graduate, has been awarded the Bright Futures Academic Top Scholar Award for Hillsborough County. |
