Scholarship Fund

The FSU Black Alumni Association promotes and supports the academic achievement and excellence of Black students at FSU. We are committed to ensuring that financial resources are available for the direct support of Black students in their pursuit of academic excellence. Through your financial support and continued assistance, together we will be able to assist in the recruitment, admission, retention, graduation and placement of Black students at FSU.

Since the funds are used for educational purposes all donations are tax deductible. Donations to our Scholarship Fund also qualify for matching gifts from participating corporations and businesses.
