Florida bill placing funding limitations on Bright Futures scholarship advances We re ending this bill, Florida high school student says Bright Futures changes bill advances and last updated 2021-03-16 20:20:19-04 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Purse strings for Florida s popular merit-based scholarship, Bright Futures, may soon be tightened. A Senate panel advanced a bill via a party-line vote Tuesday afternoon limiting funding for areas of study that don t have promising job prospects. Thomas Truong, a Florida high schooler, was among the dozens who watched the Senate Education Committee meeting in Tallahassee. He said he was there to fight for his future. This bill would take away funding from me and countless other students in Florida, Truong said. Likely, I will not be able to go to college in Florida. I ll have to take on student debt and that s something I really don t want to do.
