Support Scholarships
Scholarships are becoming more important than ever before. In the past ten years the typical American family has gotten poorer, with income dropping more than 7 percent since 2000, according to an article in USA Today.
The difficult economic times is causing America’s next generation, college students and young professionals to graduate college with more debt than ever before.
Our goal at FAU College of Business is to increase the opportunity for student scholarships. Through community support and sponsorship of our annual FAU Business Leader of the Year Awards Breakfast, we are able to award more than 35 FAU student scholarships each year.
Named Scholarships within the College of Business is also an excellent way for individuals, businesses and foundation partners to demonstrate their commitment to higher education and to achieve particular branding or philanthropic goals. A named scholarship is a way of leaving a legacy and supporting the students both now and in the future.
