WHO

• High School Seniors, Undergraduate, & Graduate Students located in the U.S. 
• Open to all first-generation college students regardless of immigration status.
• Plan to enroll full-time in an accredited community college, public/private university or graduate school for the 2021-2022 school year.

WHY

Not all first-generation students start college on the same playing field despite our experiences being clumped into one: the first-generation experience. There is a socio-economic divide whether we realize it or not. Some first-generation students attend private high schools, others are born and raised in the USA. The education levels of our parents also vary. All this contributes to some experiencing a smoother transition to college while others take longer to adjust.

This scholarship is designed for first-gens who are systematically marginalized and excluded.

WHEN

Applications will be accessible through our website beginning December 1st, 2021.
