The Office of Family Engagement
The Office of Family Engagement keeps families connected and engaged with their student through several key events. Our collaboration of events on campus provides opportunities for families to visit their student at FAU, remain connected with other Owl families, and provide education and resources to learn as your student transitions into the collegiate years.

Owl Family Scholarship
Attention students:听听Family Engagement and the Owl Parent Association (OPA, no longer functioning) have worked to create a scholarship called the Owl Family Scholarship. Read the instructions below for more information.
How to Apply
Access the application from听听MYFAU, on the Money Matters tile.
- Only apply for scholarships to which you qualify.
- Highly recommended, as it saves time and narrows down your search, is the scholarship search feature in the scholarship application.
- Apply early, as application selection is limited!
- Some opportunities require additional information such as reference letters or supporting documentation.
The Owl Family Scholarship was established to award deserving first- or second-year students who demonstrate a financial need and are in good academic standing. Students must be enrolled full time with a 2.5 GPA or higher. An essay is required explaining the importance of their familial support system (parents, relatives, close friends, etc.) and how they have aided in their academic success. A completed FAFSA is required to be considered for this scholarship.
The scholarship is officially live on听听fau.edu/finaid/types-of-aid/scholarships!
