Do I have to renew my Bright Futures Scholarship each semester?

Question

I just registered for Summer and Fall classes at a Community College and I can't seem to get a definite answer from anyone about Bright Futures. I called Bright Futures and all they told me was how many credit hours I needed in order to get funding.

Last semester I switched schools and did not tell Bright Futures so I was dropped from all my classes one day prior to them starting. I'm hoping I can figure this out before the deadline so that this fiasco doesn't happen again!

Answer 1

I used to have bright futures scholorship. Your advisor at your new college should be able to set everything up for you. They need to register with bright futures as you home instiution. My experience with bright futures is that the student (yourself) needs to do nothing but make sure you take enough classes each semester and make sure you keep you GPA up. Your new home inst. should be responsible for getting the bright futures funding setup... Hopefully you have an experienced  advisor at your new school. But you should never have to renew as long as your GPA and credit hours meet the standards. Renewal is automatic
