✨ FAMU Foundation Scholarship Spotlight Series | 2025–2026 FAMU Scholars

Behind every scholarship is a student with a dream, determination, and the drive to make a difference. Our 2025–2026 scholarship recipients represent the excellence, resilience, and promise that define the Rattler Nation.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni, friends, and supporters, these students are able to focus more on achieving their academic goals and less on the financial challenges that often accompany higher education.

Every gift helps open doors, create opportunities, and move students one step closer to graduation.

🖤❤️💚💛 This week, on Friday, June 19, we will observe Juneteenth—Freedom Day—a profound moment of reflection and remembrance that serves as our community’s natural prelude to the Independence holiday season.

It is fitting that we pause to honor both the promise of freedom and its continuing journey.

In the decades that followed emancipation—between 1861 and 1900—more than 90 institutions were founded to extend that promise through education.

Among them stands our beloved Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, established in 1887.

Meet G. Scott Uzzell, a proud FAMU alumnus, School of Business & Industry grad and the visionary CEO of Helen of Troy LTD, a global multi-billion-dollar consumer brand company publicly traded on the Nasdaq as HELE.

Scott’s journey began at FAMU, where he gained the foundation that propelled him to success. His dedication to giving back stems from a deep desire to see others blessed with the same exceptional FAMU experience that shaped his life.

Join Scott and countless other alumni in supporting the next generation of Rattlers. Be part of the movement to empower futures and create lasting impact.
