What It Means to Be a First-Generation College Student

Being a first-generation college student represents progress for a family. Most people who decide not to go to college do so because they don’t think they can afford it. Food, living expenses, textbooks, and also tuition all represent a big amount of money. And this is completely understandable that some families would be intimidated by the price tag.

The “net price” is what students and families will pay, after scholarships and financial aid are taken into consideration.
