In 1960, the FCS Education Division of the Association for Career and Technical Education established a fellowship fund to provide fellowships to graduate students who would become the future leaders of the profession and to honor outstanding Family and Consumer Sciences professionals. The fellowships are provided by funds collected for the Roll of Honor. For an individual to be placed on the Roll of Honor, they must have made significant contributions to the profession. Congratulations Debbie, it is a well-deserved honor.
