Coach 3.0 Celebration

This week we celebrated another successful semester of the Coach 3.0 program. Coaches and their students gathered at the First Graduate® office to celebrate their successes from the past semester. They also showcased their competitive spirit through trivia and Minute to Win it games, such as “Reaching for the A”, “Transfer Credits”, and “College Distraction”.

What is Coach 3.0?
Coach 3.0 is a First Graduate® 1:1 coaching program that strategically matches a college student to a volunteer Coach with the goal of helping the student reach a cumulative GPA of 3.0. This program is available to all First Graduate® college students. The coaching will take place in-person, over the phone, and/or through virtual chats.

Again, special thank you to all the Coach 3.0s for supporting First Graduate® college students with their academics in the Fall!

To Everyone Who Attended Cap & Gown 2023: Thank You!

As we celebrate our newest graduates, remember that first-generation students can move from sixth grade through college graduation and into meaningful careers because of you and your support! And we couldn’t do it without the help of our corporate supporters: Hamilton Zanze, Dodge & Cox, Accenture, Adobe, KPMG, BSSP, Millennium Career Advantage, and GoodRx.

Ramadan Mubarak!

Despite how difficult they can be to get, it’s impossible to overstate the importance of scholarships. Especially for a first-generation student, a scholarship can be the difference between being able to go to college and not.
