Home / Counselors

Every day, F&M students are finding new ways to build on their knowledge and create value within their communities. And they come here prepared to do so thanks in large part to you, our counselor colleagues.

Our Partners in Excellence

Thank you for your dedication to finding the right college fit for each and every high school student who chooses to pursue higher education. We know students have questions about F&M, and you need answers.

Financial Aid

We offer multiple forms of aid to make our extraordinary education accessible to all deserving students. If a student is admitted to F&M, we will meet 100% of their institutionally determined financial need for all four years on campus.  Learn more about financial aid at F&M, including how we determine financial need, how to calculate cost, and the types of aid available.

The Value of an F&M Education 

The tremendous success of F&M graduates demonstrates the tangible value of an F&M degree when compared to national outcomes. Within six months after graduation, 95% of F&M’s Class of 2022 were either employed or furthering their education. This is notably higher than the national average, which is typically in the mid-80% range.
