Since 2012, Florida State University’s Unconquered Scholars Program has provided an array of support services designed to promote the well-being of students who have experienced foster care, homelessness, relative care or ward of the State status. Many program participants faced profound hardships during childhood that dramatically increase their risk of leaving academia without a degree.
Graduating high school and attending a post-secondary institute is a testament to the Scholars’ remarkable resilience, determination, and commitment to make a better life for themselves. Many of the students do not have a forever family to rely upon for emotional, financial, and academic support during college and life after graduation.
The Scholars do not let themselves be defined by statistics and have exceeded the academic performance of the general student body at Florida State University by 96.2% return rate for first-year students. CARE Students have a 79.1% graduation rate within six-years of enrolling at Florida State, which exceed the national rate for first-generation students by over 50%. Our goal is for each Scholar to enter adulthood poised to receive the professional and personal benefits associated with educational attainment.
Every dollar you donate will be matched 2:1 by a generous donor until we reach our goal!
Please join the Scholars on their journey to becoming proud Florida State graduates!
Imagine going to college with little or no family support. No one to turn to. Our Unconquered Scholars face profound hardships every day. Encourage a student on their journey to become a graduate.
