Women’s Colleges: Pathways for Emerging Leaders

Last week, First Graduate® high school girls had a special opportunity to participate in the launch of a new event: Women’s Colleges: Pathways for Emerging Leaders. They joined together with local alumnae of Mount Holyoke College, Scripps College, Simmons College, and Spelman College to learn how attending a women’s college shaped the alumnae’s college experiences and career aspirations.

Thank you to our college partners for connecting us with such inspiring and engaging alumnae and a special thank you to each of the alumnae for volunteering to share their stories with First Graduate® students! We are so grateful for your time, insights, and for inspiring and empowering our younger women leaders!

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.
