The Florida Fund for Minority Teachers is a small nonprofit in the higher education sector based in Gainesville, Florida. It was established in 1996 to address underrepresentation of minority individuals entering Florida's teaching profession. It administers the Minority Teacher Education Scholarship, awarded biannually to minority students who want to become teachers in Florida's public schools. The program aims to attract community college students and encourage them to pursue teaching careers in Florida's public schools. The organization maintains a website at ffmt.org for information about its activities and scholarship.
