The Bright Futures Scholarship Program, which is primarily funded by the Florida Lottery, was created in 1997 by the Florida Legislature to assist students in pursuing postsecondary educational and career goals. Since the programâs inception, the Lottery has contributed more than
$6.2 billion to send over
880,000 students to college.
Bianka Solorzano is one of those students. Solorzano attended St. John River State College for her first two years then transferred Florida International University where she is studying biology with a pre-med track.
