First Gen Scholars

What is the First Gen Scholars initiative?

A purple circle that reads, "I am first gen." The UAlbany logo is positioned below the words.

Tag @ualbany and use the hashtag #UAlbanyFirstGen on social media to share your story as a first generation student at UAlbany.

In recognition of its work recruiting, supporting and graduating first generation students, UAlbany has been designated a First-gen Forward institution.

The First Gen Scholars Steering Committee develops and promotes strategies to advance first-generation students' success.
