They also know that students have been working at an advanced college prep level beginning in the 9th or 10th grade.\u00a0 For this reason colleges look favorably on AICE students because they value the depth and breadth of AICE course of study.<\/p>\n<p>Earning an AICE diploma and completing 100 hours of community service hours guarantees the Florida Bright Futures scholarship. (Please note that the 100 hours of community service is not an AICE requirement; it is a Bright Futures Scholarship Requirement).\u00a0 The Bright Futures award is based on receiving the diploma and not on the SAT or ACT score that the student achieved.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>I am text block.
