The Graduate Feeder Scholars Program (GFSP) in the School of Graduate Studies and Research is an official partnership agreement arranged by FAMU with more than 40 participating universities located throughout the United States. The GFSP affords FAMU students the opportunity to receive advanced study in graduate programs not available at FAMU. The feeder arrangement was conceptualized and created in response to the national need to increase the number of African Americans participating in advanced graduate education. The GFSP was designed with FAMU as the lead university in this consortium. As the lead institution, FAMU acts as the hub of the consortium with a committed role of providing a pool of qualified African American students motivated to pursue the Masters or Ph.D. degree.
Participation in the GFSP is voluntary and is targeted primarily for any current student or graduate of FAMU in any academic discipline, with the exception of the professional schools. Participants must have accumulated over 30 semester hours while maintaining a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average and complete a series of workshops which will better prepare them for the rigors of graduate study. The program seeks students who are presently scholars at FAMU, including, but not limited to, Life Gets Better Scholars, NASA Scholars, National Merit Scholars, National Achievement Scholars, Presidential Scholars, and Mc Nair Scholars. Scholars at FAMU should remain scholars at the Feeder Institutions as long as they make satisfactory progress toward their degrees.
A partnership agreement or memorandum of understanding signed by the President of FAMU, the President/Chancellor of the Feeder Institution and a Feeder Representative at each participating institution is required. This partnership agreement spells out the Feeder Institution’s level of participation in the program. The Feeder Representative is usually associated with the Graduate School and may serve as a liaison to the student and to FAMU. The Feeder Representative may also serve as a mentor or advisor to the student upon admission to the Feeder Institution.
