Welcome!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who are First in the Family Students?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The University of Washington defines first-generation students as students whose parent(s) or guardian(s) did not receive a degree from a college or university, or are the first in their immediate family to attend a college or university. Students whose parent(s) or guardian(s) received a degree from a college or university outside the United States typically identify as first-generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a first generation college student is a huge accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself for embarking on this academic journey. Throughout your undergraduate and graduate education, you will face many unique experiences. The goal of this site is to help you navigate resources, find support, and get your questions answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All things considered, entering university can be difficult for anyone, whether you are first-generation or not. So, if you have stumbled upon this website and you do not identify as first-gen–that is okay. Welcome! I hope this site assists you as you navigate resources available here at UW Bothell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In autumn 2024, 31% of incoming first-year students and 43% of new incoming transfers<\/a> at UW Bothell will be the first in their immediate families to earn a four-year degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tri-Campus Resource <\/a>hub offers information, support, and resources are provided for first-year and transfer students who self-identify as first-generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
