Under the inspiration of Frederick Douglass and other leaders of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, Bloomsburg's FDIAE seeks to promote academic excellence among students and enhance their understanding and appreciation of human diversity. The institute is part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education's collaborative to enhance the academic life and enrich the campus climate of participating universities.

Requirements to become a part of the FDI Student Scholar Program include maintaining a GPA greater than 3.0, participating in at least two FDIAE events each semester, contributing to an FDI legacy project, and promoting social justice.
