We stand with you

Once again, as people are espousing racism and hateful behavior towards members of our community, we at First Graduate® cannot be silent. As the late Elie Weisel said,

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

Our Asian American friends have become the latest in victimization by bullies. We stand with you, we support our students and their families, and we offer our continued commitment to work towards a safe, just, and inclusive community where heritage is honored, diversity celebrated, and equity the lens through which we see the world.

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.
