Thank you to everyone who showed up to help us celebrate a season of achievement, purpose, and dedication to Rattler excellence! πŸπŸ§‘πŸ’š

The J.R.E. Lee Jacksonville Alumni Chapter of the FAMU National Alumni Association is proud to stand alongside our local high schools as their outstanding students commit to Florida A&M University as their next destination for academic growth and leadership.

This is more than a decisionβ€”it’s a declaration of ambition, legacy, and belief in the power of higher education. We applaud these scholars for choosing a path rooted in excellence and for continuing the proud tradition of Rattler success.

To our future Rattlers: your village is behind you, your community is cheering for you, and your journey is just beginning.

🚨 TODAY IS THE DEADLINE 🚨

Here’s the reality:

πŸŽ“ Over $40–$50 billion in scholarships are awarded every year but only a small percentage of students ever receive them.

Not because they aren’t capable BUT because many never apply.

Today, you still have a choice:

βœ”οΈ Submit your application
βœ”οΈ Take the chance
βœ”οΈ Bet on yourself

Don’t let this be something you almost did.

πŸ“Œ Applications close TODAY

We’re rooting for you πŸ’šπŸ§‘

In case you missed it, Florida A&M University was named the No. 1 HBCU in America for 2026 by Niche.

This ranking is grounded in an analysis of academics, admissions, financial value, and student life, using data from the U.S. Department of Education.

In other words, it reflects both the data and the lived experience.

That’s the FAMU WAY. 🐍🧑

We’re proud to share that our Chapter President, Venetia, and First Vice President, Valencia, have stepped forward in support of the March Madness Spring Scholarthon. Their leadership and commitment reflect the importance of investing in the next generation of Rattlers.

Our goal remains 150 donors giving $139 in honor of the 139th anniversary of Florida A&M University. Every gift brings us closer to raising $50,000 in scholarships for deserving students.
