Would I still have my Florida Bright Futures after going to school a year later?

Paying for College

<p>I graduated with the class of 09 and due to financial difficulties I couldn’t go to school right away but I got accepted into a Florida university for Fall 10-11. My parents tax in 2008 was so high I couldn’t get financial aid when my dad had his job, but in the middle of that they had no money because he then lost it. As in, the tax wasn’t showing what was really going on. But in 2009 it did and I was able to be eligible for pell grant and all (filled out FAFSA) so all is well. But now I’m wondering about my Florida Bright Futures 75%. Would it still be by my name even if I didn’t go to school right away? Would I still have it and be able to use it?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think you can defer your Bright Futures. Call the Financial Aid office of the school you plan to attend. they should be able to help you.</p>

<p>I’m going to head up there Wednesday to waiver a tuition deposit and ask the Financial Aid Office about this, I just wanted some opinions because on the website (bright futures) my info is still there…</p>

<p>What do you mean by defer?</p>
