The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is not a requirement to receive Bright Futures; however, SJR State Financial Aid recommends you submit the FAFSA.

Verification and Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) do not affect Bright Futures eligibility. However, if you are selected for verification or are not meeting SAP, you are encouraged to complete these items by submitting the necessary documents.
