A bill to keep the SAT and ACT scores for Bright Futures Medallion Program at the same cut score ...

A new bill filed by Representative Rangel of Osceola County and Senator Soto of Orange-Osceola needs your support. The house side bill is HB 387. The senate side bill is SB526. These bills have been introduced to keep the SAT and ACT scores for Bright Futures Medallion Program at the same cut score that they are for the seniors this year which is a 1020 SAT and a 22 ACT. As you know the increase in scores for the 13-14 school year is ridiculous 1170 SAT and 26 ACT. This cuts out about 70% of the students who would qualify under this years requirements. So the bills are extremely important so the students who are juniors this year will have a better chance of getting a scholarship that many Florida students rely upon.
