The FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) is an organization dedicated to providing support and advocacy for
active and former Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
FBI Special Agents put their lives on the line every day in service of our country. The risks they take and the burdens they bear are shared by their families. Behind every FBI Special Agent is a family. And behind every family is the FBIAA.

Joanne Pierce Misko & Susan Roley Malone
Joanne Pierce Misko joined the FBI in 1970 as a researcher after a 10-year vocation as a nun in New York. During her tenure with the Bureau, Misko became one of the first female supervisors at FBI Headquarters where she ran the unit in charge of new agent applications. Misko was an Agent for 22 years before retiring in 1994.
Susan Roley Malone was already a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps when she joined the FBI as a Special Agent. Malone became the first woman in the modern FBI to make an arrest. Malone was an FBI agent for seven years before rejoining the Marines and working for the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the criminal investigative arm of the Office of the Inspector General in the Department of Defense.

The FBIAA Memorial College Fund
The FBIAA MCF provides college scholarships to the children and spouses of FBI Agents who have passed away while actively employed by the FBI or within one year of retiring from active service. The cause of death of these agents can be line of duty including those deaths from 9/11 certified illnesses, an accident, illness, or natural causes. The FBIAA MCF currently pays 75% of the student’s college tuition and expenses, including room, board, books and a one-time laptop allowance. Students attend the college of their choice and remain eligible as long as they maintain full-time status and continue in good standing.
As of June 2021, there were 80 children of FBI Agents who will be eligible for the FBIAA MCF, but not yet of college age. There are 12 children of 9/11 deceased agents who have not participated in the FBIAA MCF to date but are eligible should they decide to pursue an associate’s or bachelor’s degree.
The FBIAA Membership Assistance Fund
The FBIAA MAF provides financial assistance to FBIAA members and their families who have been affected by sudden hardship or tragedy. The Fund has helped families make emergency travel, afford treatments for grave illnesses and injuries, purchase necessary durable medical equipment, and pay for funeral expenses.
