<p>How do you define a "First Generation Student." If my parents both went to a community college for one year before quitting, does that count as first generation?</p>
<p>It will depend on the school. Some define it as neither parents attending school while others specify graduating.</p>
<p>Thanks MizzBee. I was confused because USC had sent me an email saying that I should apply for a scholarship for first generation students.</p>
