Bright Futures Information and Your AICE Diploma

     The names of AICE Diploma recipients cannot be submitted to Bright Futures before the end of the senior year because they do not attach the eligibility info until the final transcript from the high school showing that they have indeed graduated is posted. 

      For class of 2020 graduating students who are June 2020 AICE Diploma candidates, names of students who are awarded the AICE Diploma when results are announced in August will be sent to the FL Bright Futures office within 2 days if not on the same day that each of you receives your students’ results via CIE Direct (in August). 

     It typically takes the Bright Futures office 2 weeks to process all the information and to update the scholarship level in the database accessed by all Florida colleges and universities when calculating tuition fees due on the last day of registration drop / add.  If necessary, students can tell the financial aid office at their university that they are a pending AICE diploma graduate and request a deferment on their fall tuition due date.
