For the third year in a row, FSU has set a new annual total fundraising record, raising over $5.3 million during FY24, which ended on June 30, exceeding last year's record of just over $4.6 million. The campaign has now reached nearly $28.4 million. Money raised in the campaign is used to support a number of campus priorities, including scholarships for deserving students. 

Read more about the campaign goals.

This upcoming academic year, the FSU Foundation will award approximately $1.4 million in scholarships, which would not be possible without the support of so many of our alumni and other friends of the University. "We sincerely appreciate the support from all of those individuals and companies who believe in the University's mission and want to help the students who attend FSU," said John Short, vice president for University Advancement.

Forge the Future of the University

as we continue to evolve from the school that coal miners first envisioned to prepare teachers – in the late 1890s – to today and beyond as a regional comprehensive university.
