National First-Gen Week
Celebration and Support
National First-Generation Celebration Week (First-Gen Week) is a dedicated time to honor students who are the first in their families to pursue a college degree. It's a week of community, resources, storytelling and practical support—designed to amplify voices, build connections and spotlight the programs that help first-gen students thrive.
