So, my mother went to a for-profit art school and my dad went to a vo-tech school. Does this mean I’m first generation?
Depends on who’s asking. Some places consider first generation students as those whose parents never attended college. Some say first gen students are those whose parents never graduated from college (uni, tech school, etc.). And some say first gen students are those whose parents never graduated from a 4yr college/university. That’s a question that you would have to ask the college or scholarship program.
