We provide a space for all USC students who identify as first-generation, transfer, undocumented, and/or former foster youth.
First Generation College Students
The First Generation Plus Success Center seeks to provide resources and opportunities to first-generation Trojans to make certain their academic journey is a fruitful one. At USC, a first-generation college student is defined as a student whose parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have not completed a bachelor’s degree. At USC, nearly 20% of the total undergraduate population are first-generation students.
