First-generation students represent opportunity in America, and Texas State seeks to provide them with a nurturing environment. Bobcat Update's Michelle Rivera tells us more...
The Higher Education Act signed by President Lyndon Johnson on November 8th, 1965, has made it possible for millions of students to earn their college degrees -- many of those students were the first in their families to go beyond high school. The Higher Education Act created grants, loans and other programs to help students advance to new heights. Some organizations at Texas State -- like First-Gen Proud -- provide support for first-generation students who are navigating their way through college.

First-Gen Proud focuses on cultivating students' strengths and accomplishments while providing individual mentorship. The organization provides direction that can last a lifetime —from college to commencement to one's career.

First-generation students can also benefit from the organization's on-the-spot resume critiques and professional head shots.
