Are you First Generation? Not sure, let's clarify!
Our programs offer first and second-year First Generation College (FGC) students the opportunities for both personal and professional growth to not only give you the confidence to wreck adversity, but also the determination to attain a degree at Texas Tech.

If you meet the FGC student criteria, you may qualify for one of two programs - First Year Success (FYS) or Second Year Success (SYS). Our FYS program specifically meets the needs of those in their first year of undergraduate studies, while SYS concentrates on those in their second year of undergraduate studies. The purpose of these programs is to help enhance FGC students' college experience by catering to their unique needs.

How to Meet the Criteria:
  • Neither of your parents graduated from a four-year University within the United States
  • You and your siblings are the first in your immediate family to attend a four-year University in the U.S.
  • Your parents attained a degree from a country outside of the U.S.
  • You are an international student and the first in your family to strive to attain a degree from the U.S.
  • If your parent/s is/are currently going to college & so are you, you are both FGC until one graduates.
  • You transferred from a community college and will be the first generation to attend a four-year University in the U.S.

We want to encourage you to take advantage of the FREE resources available through our First Generation Transition & Mentoring Programs, which include:
  • Scholarships
  • Peer Mentoring
  • Weekly Study Sessions with Tutors
  • Social Engagement Events
  • 1-on-1 Guidance Sessions with Professional Staff
  • Community Service Opportunities
  • Paid Mentor Positions
We invite all First Generation College students that are on their first or second year (transfer students included) to apply to either one of our FREE uniquely designed programs depending on your classification. 
Both of our programs will help you succeed while you are here at Texas Tech.
