General Funding

By supporting the General Fund, you have the most immediate and beneficial impact. This unrestricted fund supports the areas of greatest need at the College and Foundation. General Fund donations provide for student needs in the form of financial aid, academic support so we can deliver the quality programming for our students in Nassau and Duval counties and beyond, and institutional support so the staff and campus can provide the resources our students deserve when they come to FSCJ.

Gifts to the FSCJ General Fund have an immediate impact on all things that keep FSCJ strong: life changing scholarships, exceptional faculty, world-class facilities and technology, classroom resources, student life programming, and so much more. The General Fund allows the College to meet the most pressing core needs while allowing us to adapt quickly and seize upon opportunities that build the FSCJ of tomorrow.

Scholarships

Scholarships provide the critical means for many students to elevate themselves and their future through education. Scholarship funds are awarded based on a variety of factors including financial need, volunteerism, area of interest and academic potential. They also help the College attract and retain students here in Duval and Nassau counties and beyond who will become the next generation of community leaders.

Donors can choose to support a specific scholarship, create a new one or help grow the general scholarship fund.

Your investment in the General Endowed Scholarship Fund, no matter the size, directly supports FSCJ students. Donations to the endowed fund are invested by the FSCJ Foundation and, after a period of approximately 12 months, a portion of the combined balance is used to support students in the area that is most meaningful to you. With an endowment, the idea is to have the fund — and the impact of your gift — last forever creating a meaningful legacy for you here at FSCJ

The impact of Annual Scholarship gifts is immediate, meaning the funds are disbursed to deserving students in the fiscal year they are received. Annual scholarship donors can also specify the scholarship name and award criteria.
Unlike endowments, gifts made to annual scholarships are not invested and do not earn additional income.
