The general purpose of the MOU is to continue educational and academic exchanges and other scholarly pursuits. To continue the educational exchange program with FAMU, the Government of St. Maarten collaborates with FAMU to provide a scholarship program for the St. Maarten students who participate in this program (by qualifying for study financing).
The MOU is in support of the partnership agreement between the Island Government of St. Maarten and the City of Tallahassee. Since the executions of the Partnership Agreement, students from St. Maarten have enrolled at Florida State University (FSU), Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), Tallahassee Community College (TCC) and Lively Technical Center (Lively).
