First-Generation College Student Status

The Higher Education Act of 1965 and 1998 defines the term "first generation college student" as "an individual both of whose parents did not complete a bachelor's degree; or in the case of students who live with and are supported by only one parent, a student whose only such parent did not complete a bachelor's degree."

To establish if you are a first-generation college student, please answer the following questions regarding your parents' educational level. If you live with and are supported by only one parent, answer "Other" for the other parent's educational level. If your parent received a degree from another country and it is not recognized in the U.S., use "Other" for that parent. If you are unsure how to answer the question, email ramp@cpp.edu for guidance.
