Supporting First-Generation Excellence at Rutgers
The Educational Equity and Excellence Collaborative (E3C) at Rutgers University is a dedicated resource designed to support first-generation students and students from modest-income households.
Who is a First-Generation Student?
A first-generation college student is typically a student whose parents have not earned a four-year college degree. This definition also includes students who self-identify as having limited prior exposure to or knowledge of the college experience and may benefit from additional resources and support.
