FIRST GENERATION SUCCESS PROGRAM

 


A FIRST RATE EXPERIENCE

College is an experience characterized by change and challenges. A strong
support system can make a difference in whether or not a student excels. The
FIRST Program helps ensure success for students who are the first in their
family to attend college. First-generation college students are individuals
whose parents do not hold a degree from a four-year college or university.
Clemson is proud of its first generation students and is committed to their
success.


BE FIRST!

FIRST helps these students adjust to the college experience by offering a
variety of opportunities and resources, from academic support to social
activities. New freshman and transfer students are invited to apply and use the
resources and opportunities FIRST provides. FIRST participation continues
throughout a student’s time at Clemson.

JIM CLEMENTS, PHD.

President of Clemson University

"As a first generation college graduate, I understand and can relate to the
unique experiences of our first generation students. My parents never set foot
on a college campus and my grandparents didn't graduate from high school, but
they encouraged me and my three older siblings to prioritize education. And we
did just that – earning 11 college degrees among the four of us. I got into
higher education because I wanted to help others have a better life by getting a
formal education, and at Clemson we recognize and support mentoring programs for
our first generation students."


COACH DABO SWINNEY

Head Coach of the Clemson Football Team

"Being the first college graduate in my family will always be one of my greatest
accomplishments. My education prepared me and qualified me to do the job I have.
It also transformed my family tree forever. "
