Am I a First-Gen Student? 
Yes, if neither of your parents (or guardian) completed a bachelor's degree! 

Why are we celebrating? 
First-gen students deserve recognition for navigating the complex college system despite not always having the same guidance and resources as their peers. 

Did you know? 
The descriptor of "first-generation college student" was created by federal TRIO programs, founded in 1965 to address inequities in college access.
