Enriching Arts Experiences for Undergraduates

 

Opening Nights at Florida State University is partnering with the Division of Undergraduate Studies to provide incoming Freshman in the CARE, Honors and Presidential Scholars Programs* the opportunity to attend performances and unique educational offerings with world-renowned artists. Your gift will make it possible for these new FSU students to not only attend world-class performances, but also receive experiential learning credits, and further enhance FSU’s liberal arts education.

 

*CARE provides support for students with financial need who are among the first in their family to attend college.

The Honors Program provides enriched curriculum and special opportunities for exceptional, high-achieving students.

Presidential Scholars receive the premier undergraduate merit scholarship and are high-achieving students poised to become the transformational leaders of their generation.
