Attollo First Gen is a dedicated cohort for scholars who are the first in their immediate family (not counting siblings) to pursue a four-year college education. This program exists to make sure first-gen students never have to navigate the path to and through college alone.

Throughout the academic year, First Gen scholars take part in programming built specifically for their experience: networking opportunities that connect them with mentors and professionals who've walked a similar path, student panels where they hear real, honest perspectives from peers and alumni facing the same firsts, and college readiness support that covers everything from applications to financial aid to what to expect once they're on campus.

Being first comes with unique challenges, and also unique strengths. Attollo First Gen is built to affirm both, giving students the community, guidance, and tools they need to move forward with confidence.
