<p>If one of my parents only completed some college (no degree) and the other never attended college at all, am I still considered a first generation college student?</p>
<p>yes 10 char</p>
<p>^It’s not that simple.</p>
<p>It depends on the college, some consider you first gen if neither parent has a college degree, others if neither parent attended college. College apps don’t ask if you’re first gen, rather they ask for where, when and if any college degree was awarded to either parent, then schools decide if you fit their definition of first gen.</p>
