Are You the First in Your Family to Attend College?
For many students going to college is just as much about changing things for themselves as it is for their families. When no one before you in your family has gone to college, there are more than the typical challenges to overcome. Not only may everyone be hinging his or her hopes on your future, but you also have no one to lead you through the financial aid and college application milieu, which can be daunting to say the least. In many cases students who are the first in their family to go to college come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We’ve found some scholarships specifically designed for you. While you are shopping around keep in mind that these are usually called first in family or first generation scholarships. Read more at:
