First-Generation Student Success Program
The 学术成就中心 coordinates support programs and services for newbb电子平台’s first-generation college students. If you are a first-generation college student, we are excited to have you here! We recognize that as one of the first in your family to attend college, you will face unique experiences as you begin this exciting journey. We look forward to supporting first-generation Bobcats!

“第一代”是什么意思?
在newbb电子平台, we consider students with no parent or guardian who has completed a bachelor’s degree to be first-generation. Our first-generation students may be the very first people in their families to attend a four-year university, or they may have siblings who have attended college.
newbb电子平台’s First-Generation Student Success Program is coordinated by first-generation college graduates who understand the unique experiences and strengths of this population.
Do I Qualify as a First-Generation Student?
Qualifying as a first-generation college student extends beyond the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) definitions, which typically identify first-generation students based on parental education levels. 在newbb电子平台, we recognize that individuals who may not be defined by the FAFSA as first-gen still have unique experiences.
This term includes individuals from diverse family structures, 比如那些由单亲父母抚养长大的孩子, 养父母, 继父母, 监护人或大家庭成员. Many students whose parents have degrees from outside of the United States also identify as first-generation.
If you have questions regarding your eligibility to participate in the First-Generation Student Success Program, 请与Sam Metzger联系 metzgers1@俄亥俄州.edu or firstgen@俄亥俄州.edu.
