William Hudson, vice president of student affairs at Florida
A&M University, visited Ottawa Hills High School in Grand Rapids Michigan
on May 19 to announce a new pipeline program between Grand Rapids Public
Schools (GRPS) and FAMU.
As part of the pipeline, FAMU will award nine $50,000
scholarships to Ottawa Hills students.
Hudson said that many talented Michigan students choose to
attend FAMU and the new partnership will help the university enroll even more.
“We have a strong alumni base here that does a great job in
recruiting students and letting them know the benefits of higher education and
specifically what we have to offer at Florida A&M University,” Hudson said
in an interview with WZZM 13 news.
