The overall GPA requirement for the FLMR and the FLGS is 2.75. Must have successfully completed an average of at least 6 hours for each term for which they were funded the Bright Futures award for the previous year. If a student was funded for two terms, the total of earned hours would need to be 12 hours. If a student was funded for three terms, fall, spring and summer, the total of earned hours would still need to be only 12 hours since the third term which is the summer term will not be completed before the local institution is required to have their Grades and Hours Report filed with the Bureau.

Restoration is a one time opportunity.
This means that if a student does not earn the required hours by the end of the summer term and does not file a Scholarship Appeal Form indicated below that is approved, then that student can never get back on the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. You should provide as much documentation as possible regarding the illness or emergency to our office. A student may file this Scholarship Appeal any time after they have received the courtesy letter from our office indicating they did not meet the renewal requirements. Official ineligibility notices are also mailed to students during the summer following spring evaluation of their renewal eligibility by the Bureau. If a student has not already filed a scholarship appeal with our office by that time, they must file this Scholarship Appeal within 30 days of the date of the ineligibility notice sent to them by the Bureau.
