Giving Tuesday: Your gift to FMU's First Generation Fund counts

Francis Marion University’s First Generation Fund is the focus of the University’s participation in the nationwide “Day of Giving” event on Tuesday Dec. 3.

FMU’s First Generation Fund launched a year ago. It’s designed to provide first generation students — those who are the first in their immediate family to attend college — with extra resources. Studies show first generation students often face more hurdles than students coming from a family with a tradition of college attendance.

Donations to the First Generation Fund are tax deductible.

More information on the fund, and donation options, are available at www.fmarion.edu/firstgen.
