We empower first-generation college students on the path to and through college by providing the resources that are often missing at home, school, or in their communities. Since 2005, we have worked with high schools and community based organizations, along with four-year colleges and universities to strengthen campus efforts on behalf of these students. Our robust programming includes our online platform, ImFirst. org, the I'm First Scholarship, and I'm First Guide to College, published annually and designed specifically for aspiring first-generation college-bound students.
