Since 1984, FEF has developed and implemented innovative programs and employed non-traditional approaches that enhance outcomes across various educational levels.
With funding, counseling and professional development, the program supports selected students pursuing Ph.D's at 9 Florida universities. Since 1984, 818 Fellows (89%) have earned doctorates.
The program provides up to one year of funding, counseling and professional development to selected Florida Ph.D. students working to complete dissertations in STEM disciplines.
The program helps advance selected junior faculty members at Florida colleges and universities by supporting one-year sabbaticals during which they work towards tenure and promotion.
This multifaceted statewide pre-college program prepares and motivates students to pursue and succeed in higher education.
These for-credit summer programs prepare high school students for standardized tests, higher education, and careers.
These programs teach students to code and links them with STEM mentors; prepares coders for industry certification; and trains coding instructors.
