1st Generation Matching Grant Program
The mission of the Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement (CARE) is to provide equity and access to first-generation students who have been traditionally underrepresented at Florida State University and have been disadvantaged due to educational and socioeconomic circumstances.
CARE recruits, motivates, prepares and supports first-generation college students.
