Members of the Florida State University community can demonstrate their support for the university by contributing to the third annual FSU’s Great Give, a 36-hour online campaign to raise funds for academic programs and scholarships at Florida State.

This year’s campaign, hosted by the FSU Foundation’s Annual Giving department, will take place April 17-18.

FSU’s Great Give allows individual colleges and units within the university to create featured projects. This arrangement provides an opportunity to support new initiatives that may not be funded otherwise. Projects can be viewed online.

In the College of Arts and Sciences, donations to FSU’s Great Give will go toward the James P. Jones Graduate Fellowship. A description of the fellowship, which has a goal of $5,000, follows:
