Welcome to the First-Gen Community!
According to First-Generation Student Support at Virginia Tech, a student is identified as a first-generation college student if neither parent or guardian has earned a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or university.
Virginia Tech has been designated as a First-Gen Forward institution by the Center for First-Generation Student Success, an initiative of NASPA and the Suder Foundation that highlights best practices, professional development opportunities, programs, services, and sources of engagement for first generation college students and practitioners who are committed to supporting them.
