More than one-third of VCU undergrads are first-generation college students — their parents or guardians did not earn a four-year degree. When you make a gift to the VCU First Generation Fund, you help the You First at VCU First-Generation Student Success and Research Center:
- Build community among first-generation students, faculty and staff.
- Provide educational programming that promotes academic and professional success.
- Offer support that empowers students to navigate challenges and develop leadership skills.
- Fund faculty and student research related to first-generation issues.
