FACA Initiatives Include:
Financial support for current Fletcher students
Every year FACA gives summer internship grants to current Fletcher students totalling as much as $28,000/yr. Tuition support is also given to a current student through the Ralph Bunche Endowed Scholarship.
Networking opportunities for alumni and current students
FACA hosts a career panel for current students at the annual Fletcher Washington DC trip, typically in February. Panelists are accomplished alumni of color who are thriving in their chosen field. FACA also hosts happy hours to serve as networking events, to allow members of the Fletcher community to reconnect and promote our members’ professional activities.
