First Generation Concerns

[Vle045]

Are there any real scholarships for first gen? If so, I am jealous. I was first gen way back in the 90’s. And there was no guidance - which could have been helpful. In High School, I was all honors and AP classes, but since I had no real guidance nor understanding, I never took the AP tests for college credit. And the real kicker was not only did I have to take the same courses during my freshman year, I even had the SAME TEXTBOOK! I didn’t have access to any of the resources available now. I am hoping that my son takes my advice and uses one of the many resources to skip those gen eds. Even if he wants the “real” college experience.
