Ģ��ý First-Generation Scholarships

First Scholarship

Ģ��ý is committed to the success of all our students.

We recognize that first-generation students face unique challenges, but also bring an incredible wealth of knowledge that builds on the vibrancy of our liberal arts university. The Ģ��ý First Scholarship is designed to support first-generation students and build upon the skills and experience first-generation students bring to campus.

Ģ��ý defines “first generation” as a student whose parents did not complete a bachelor’s degree, OR a student from a single-parent home whose parent did not complete a bachelor’s degree. The Ģ��ý First Scholarship is open to first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students. The scholarship award is determined based on the student's financial need. The Ģ��ý First Scholarship is automatically renewable as long as the student is meeting satisfactory academic progress.
