College Application Guidance
The college application process can be daunting to anyone, but first-gen students face specific barriers. Through free advice and support, First-Gen Place is here to help you navigate the application process — including finding schools, understanding entry requirements, navigating financial aid, writing application essays, preparing for interviews, and much more.
Support Throughout College
Navigating college life can be stressful. Whether it’s connecting with a peer mentor or making use of our members-only Virtual Toolkit, our resources are here to help you thrive on campus socially, emotionally, and academically.
Post-Grad Planning
Our support doesn’t end after graduation. Our mentors and virtual First-Gen Place network can help make post-grad planning a breeze. Whether your next stop is a gap year, grad school, or the workforce, we’re here for you!
Supporting Transfer and Non-traditional Students
The college process doesn’t look the same for everyone. Being first-gen is hard enough, but being a transfer or non-traditional student brings its own challenges. No matter your path to college, our resources and virtual community are here to help you flourish.
