university’s efforts in recruitment and retention of African American faculty and staff, and recognizing we play a vital role in contributing to the educational growth of minority students Our motto, “Together We Can” puts truth into action.

President L. Fred Carter, the FMU Administration, our ardent members, and faithful supporters, we are able to award four named scholarships.
