The First-Generation Matching Grant Fund provides critical support for students at Florida State University who are the first in their families to attend college and are from low-income backgrounds.
The State of Florida provides a two-to-one match for all contributions to this fund, effectively tripling your donation and the financial support for this student population.
These funds support students engaged in the Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement (CARE) Program. In addition to financial support, CARE provides preparation, orientation, and academic support for first-generation students who may face unique challenges in college because of educational or economic circumstances.
