<p>if my parents went to a 4 year college in another country (but finished) and i'm the first one in my family to go to college in the US, do I qualify for "first-gen college attendance?"</p>
<p>No, you don't qualify.</p>
<p>What if only one parent went to college? Anything for that?</p>
<p>you would still not be considered a first generation college student</p>
<p>if a parent or step parent graduated college with a degree, you're second-generation...
however, if an older sibling graduated, or if even your parents WENT to college but recieved no degree, then you're first-gen.</p>
