Home Stretch Microgrants

This year, almost 1,000 FSU seniors had met or exceeded their financial aid eligibility, creating various levels of unmet need. This means that even after grants, loans, scholarships, family contributions and working to support themselves often times with multiple jobs, students were faced with the realization that they could no longer afford to attend college. Each semester, many qualified students are dropped from their classes for failure to pay their financial obligations. For as little as $250, an undergraduate graduation microgrant can provide the vital monetary boost needed to allow graduating seniors the opportunity to stay enrolled and reach the finish line to their degrees.

“As I enter my final semester, I am excited to excel academically without the imminent pressures of financial instability. I appreciate your confidence in me and willingness to contribute to the completion of my education here at Florida State University.”
-- Cedani B

“This grant will greatly reduce my financial burden and allow me to focus on graduating in my final semester.”
-- Joshua M

Through your donation you will be helping students clear a significant graduation hurdle that will allow them to walk across the stage as proud alumni of Florida State University.
