CLT in Florida
Thanks to legislation passed in 2023, Florida students can use CLT scores to apply to Florida state universities, earn Bright Futures scholarships, satisfy graduation requirements, and earn dual credit. Florida state also funds all school districts to administer the CLT to 11th graders.
With expanded options for admissions testing, Florida students now have greater opportunities to showcase their academic potential and reach their college goals.
