The reestablished FAMU College of Law has graduated more than 1,500 individuals who are lawyers and leaders across the country and the globe. Our alumni includes such notables as U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings, Class of 1966; former state Senator Arthenia Joyner, Class of 1968; Orlando Utilities Commission Deputy General Counsel Carlos Woody, Class of 2005; and Ninth Judicial Circuit Judges Amy Carter, Class of 2009, and Gabrielle Sanders, Class of 2009. We have graduates at top law firms such as Holland & Knight, Morgan & Morgan and Greenberg Traurig; along with corporations, including Walt Disney World, Viacom and Lockheed Martin. A large percentage of our graduates work in public service for Legal Aid, State Attorney Offices, Public Defender Offices and governmental agencies. These graduates exemplify the College of Law's mission of serving the underserved, truly making a transformative difference in their communities.

We have launched a fundraising campaign to provide scholarships to help students afford tuition without accumulating major debt upon graduation. It's critically important that we provide assurances that our promising law students will have the financial resources necessary to complete their studies. Nearly 90 percent of current law students at FAMU require some form of financial aid. Only 12 percent of the students receive scholarship support based on merit. Many more students are deserving of scholarships, but current financial resources won't stretch to meet those demands. Reducing the financial burdens of law school will give law students more freedom to focus on their studies and gain practical experience, which they are more likely to use to serve the community, if they have accrued less debt. With more scholarships, we will recruit and retain better prepared students.
