Welcome Scholars!
Scholarship Communities are groups of students connected through specific scholarships, brought together to support one another and grow together. As part of the First Gen+ Support Center, these communities are designed to help you thrive with support that matches your goals and your journey!
How We Can Help You!
You’ll find peer and staff mentors, support starting day one, and programming throughout the year focused on academic success, connection, and building real-life skills that carry beyond the classroom. Our goal is simple: to create an exceptional educational journey where every student can reach their full potential!
