A COMPREHENSIVE WEBSITE DEVELOPED BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO HELP GUIDE YOUR STUDENT FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE

Facts.org has a link to “Florida Choices”. Through Choices a student can complete an interest inventory that will indicate careers and fields of interest.

Facts.org allows you to modify searches by type of school (public or private), program of study, regions of Florida and even type of campus.

Facts.org offers links to all of the Florida Public and Private Schools.

Facts.org offers a matrix that includes every Florida state university. The matrix indicates what the average ACT, SAT and high school GPA are for the students that have been admitted. It also offers a list of Florida Private Colleges and their admission rates.

Facts.org explains the difference between technical degrees, associates degrees, undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Facts.org offers direct links to ACT, SAT and general information regarding the CPT (community colleges) and the TABE (vocational schools).

Facts.org lists multiple tips for students and parents to consider. In addition they provide links to different agencies that may be able to assist you.

Facts.org offers a link to the Bright Futures website and brings you directly to the section where frequently asked questions can be answered.

The FFAA application becomes available December 1 of your child’s senior year. The Guidance Department will meet with each of the social studies classes in the computer lab to complete the application process. In the event your child does not have a social studies class, he/she will be given an instruction sheet or seen individually as needed.

The FFAA is not only the application for Bright Futures, but also an application for the following Grants and Scholarships.
