FSU CARE

FSU’s nationally acclaimed Center for Academic Retention & Enhancement—or CARE—program provides opportunities to underrepresented students and those who would be the first in their families to attend college.  The program ensures that those students traditionally underrepresented in higher education—disadvantaged by virtue of educational or socioeconomic reasons—enroll, learn and graduate from Florida State.

Learn more about how CARE transforms the lives of FSU students like Sabrina Ishaque, who says “I am not sure how I would have made it through my first few years in college [without CARE] going through my mother’s death and not having a support system.”

At Florida State University, we believe in the transformative power of bold ideas.

The University will rise in rank and reputation because of extraordinary faculty, students and alumni whose accomplishments reflect the caliber of programs and opportunities available at Florida State. In order to lift the University to even greater heights, we must work together to make our vision for the future of Florida State a reality.

 

Encourage Innovation, Creativity and Discovery

Florida State’s rise has been fueled by bold ideas that have provided the foundation for innovative programs, ground-breaking research and unrivaled experiences that, while propelling the University forward, never lose sight of Florida State’s long and prestigious history of excellence.

These ideas have the power to effect tangible change in the lives of all Florida State students, in the future of the University, in the state of Florida and in society as a whole.
