The FEA helps the university recruit and retain outstanding under-represented students instead of losing them to out-of-state colleges that offer more attractive financial aid packages. The FEA program was created in response to a legal decision in which public universities lost their ability to consider ethnicity in awarding financial aid. While the legal landscape surrounding the issue has changed, our commitment to diversity has not. Providing opportunity to all groups of people is critical to the future of our state and nation.
