Rutgers Community
We believe that by equipping Rutgers faculty and staff with the right resources, we can create a supportive environment that empowers first-generation students to thrive in their academic and professional pursuits. Together, let’s champion their success!
E3C Innovation Grant
The E3C Innovation Grant is an exclusive opportunity for Rutgers faculty and staff to receive a one-time grant of up to $25,000. The E3C Innovation Grant can be applied to a startup opportunity, research, or to expand existing initiatives/programs that increase college access and promote undergraduate student success for first-generation students.

Over the 2023-24 academic year, student participants reflected on classroom challenges to identify key teaching practices that Rutgers instructors can use to support first-generation students. The SAS Teaching & Learning team produced a student-centered digital multimedia resource accessible to instructors across all Rutgers campuses.
