My mom got her bachelors in another country and my dad went to to college in another country also but he never got a degree and when he came to america he went to college here but still didn’t get a degree. So do I count as a first gen student or not. I will really appreciate it if you can help me.
There’s no 1st gen box for you to tick off. It’s the college that decides if u are 1st gen, based on the education of your parents that u provide.
Typically, if your parents have any college ANYWHERE, then you’re not 1st gen.
Thank you for clearing that up!
First generation means that neither parent has a degree from any college anywhere.
