The Florida Fund for Minority Teachers, Inc. (FFMT) was developed in 1996 to counteract the disturbing trends related to minorities entering the teacher profession in the state of Florida. FFMT biannually awards the Minority Teacher Education Scholarship (MTES) to minority students wishing to become teachers in Florida's public school system. One of the primary purposes of this program is to attract community college students and encourage them to pursue a teaching career in Florida's public schools.
