<p>hey guys! do we only receive first generation scholarship for one year? or for all 4 years in school. received it last year but not this year. want to know whats up. thanks :)</p>
<p>Check with your school. Most schools don’t give first gen scholarships at all.</p>
<p>Agree. Check with your school. It must be a school specific scholarship. (you should have received some sort of information when you first got the scholarship telling you what the scholarship conditions are - at least that has been our experience with institutional scholarships)).</p>
<p>It is a federal scholarship. i got it through fafsa. it’s like if you parents didnt go to college, your the first generation to attend school.</p>
<p>I believe you can get it for 4 years as long as you meet the other requirements. Some schools have their own limits on the program. Where I’m at, if you drop a single class, even if your still full time, then you lose it.</p>
<p>okay thanks ! I’ll have to look into it more w my school , its a CC</p>
<p>Is it one of these? [First</a> Generation Scholarships for College Students](<a href=“http://www.collegescholarships.org/scholarships/first-in-family.htm]First”>First Generation Scholarships for College Students) Note that all depend on specifics (culture, company, etc). Each would have its own requirements. Ask at the FA office.</p>
<p>What kind of “federal scholarships” for first-gen can you get through completing a FAFSA? IIRC, that wasn’t even a question on there. I am a first gen and I got nothing of the sort. </p>
<p>I think you’re either confusing it with Pell or something along those lines or you’re confusing a private or university scholarship for a federal grant. Do you know the name of it?</p>
<p>don’t know the name, but I know it was 1,000 I think. I didn’t receive it this year though, don’t know why…</p>
