<p>Wondering if my child would be considered a first generation college student-I went to a community college for about a year and a half. My husband completed a year long tech program at a communtity college. Question on scholarship application. One set of grandparents are college grads, as is an aunt. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>My understanding is that if either parent attended any college of any kind then the student is not a first generation college student.</p>
<p>how is the question worded?
I would put that you attended a community college for __ credit
however, most questions are asking " do parents have a four year degree?"</p>
<p>It just asks the question 'Are you a first generation college student?' and there is a check box for yes or no. I feel as if she is....but then we did go as stated in my original post. confused....</p>
<p>First Generation College student means neither parent attended college. It doesn't matter if you graduated or not. You did attend so your child is not first generation.</p>
