My mom studied cosmetology and got a certificate but she wasn’t a citizen and just paid for classes. She didn’t attend for 2 nor 4 years and she was never on the board of cosmetology nor did she put into practice her certificate in the U.S. My father didn’t finish high school at all, so am I considered a first generation college student still?
Yes, you would be considered first gen.
Agree, first gen.
Yes, you are. At colleges that care, First gen means “neither parent has a 4-year degree”
