At Florida State University, we proudly recognize and celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives that first-generation college students bring to our campus. A first-generation student is someone whose parents or guardians did not complete a four-year college degree.

Approximately 25% of FSU’s undergraduate population identifies as first-generation, making them an essential part of our campus culture. Whether you're just beginning your college journey or nearing graduation, FSU is committed to supporting you every step of the way.
