  • MLK Book Stipend – Awarded to three students during the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration through a scholarship process led by the Center for Leadership and Social Change
  • Dr. William R. Jones – In honor of Professor Emeritus, and founder and first Director of the FSU Black Studies Program
  • International Studies - Specifically designated for a student who is involved in FSU’s International Programs or plans to study abroad to gain a first-hand view of the world.
  • Byrnes Guillaume, Esq. – Initiated by Byrnes Guillaume to provide support to a Black Student of Caribbean Descent
  • Walter T. King Medical - Initiated by Andrea King Friall, MD, and Eric S. Friall to provide support for first generation college students enrolled in the FSU College of Medicine (M.D. Degree Program)

The FSU Black Alumni is committed to ensuring that financial resources are available for the direct support of Black students in their pursuit of academic excellence.
