FSU is home to more than 43,000 of the most academically focused and socially involved students throughout the country. As every undergraduate student’s first stop during their FSU experience, it is NSFP’s responsibility to welcome students and their families and to provide a holistic, positive experience for as long as they are part of the FSU community.
As the number of students applying to FSU continues to soar, NSFP strives to elevate the quality and success of our first-year programs, campus traditions, and leadership development opportunities for all students and their families. Through collaboration with community partners NSFP will be able to continue making a positive impact on thousands of students and their families throughout the duration of their FSU experience.
