It is alarming to note there are FSU seniors each semester who have met or exceeded their financial aid eligibility, creating various levels of unmet need. This means that even after grants, loans, scholarships, working multiple jobs, and family contributions, students often face the realization that they can no longer afford to attend college.

Each semester, many qualified seniors are faced with a schedule cancellation for failure to pay their financial obligations. This past fall 2021 alone, 148 potential term eligible graduates were subject to having their courses dropped while actively participating in the semester. The Graduation Planning & Strategies office partners with Financial Aid and Student Business Services to identify seniors in this predicament to provide support in a potential monetary boost vital to their continued enrollment and degree completion.

Through your timely donation, you can help deserving seniors clear a significant graduation hurdle that will allow them to reach their goal of becoming proud Florida State University alumni. To learn more about this innovative program, click here.
