McCutcheon | Nikitin First-Generation Scholarship

College can be challenging for anyone, but first-generation college students face particular difficulties when pursuing higher education. 

From inadequate financial resources to a lack of mentors, first-generation students often don’t have equal access to higher education and need to be supported throughout their journey. 

This scholarship seeks to help first-generation college students who are pursuing higher education so they can complete their degrees.

Any first-generation college student who is currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program may apply for this scholarship. 

To apply, write a short essay about how education has impacted your understanding of the world.
