This year as the University celebrates 75 years of Homecoming, we invited you to engage with one of the most time-honored Homecoming traditions.
Serving on Homecoming Court is a prestigious honor for students, and selected students will be recognized during Homecoming Week from October 16 - 21.
The group will have various opportunities to serve the Tallahassee community, represent the FSU Alumni Association and act as ambassadors for current students at different events throughout the year.
To be selected, students must stand out from their peers in academics, involvement, leadership and service and embody the Seminole spirit at Florida State University.
Additionally, all interested applicants must attend one of the mandatory interest meetings and meet, at minimum, all of the requirements listed below.
