National First-Generation College Day is celebrated on 11/8. Give a gift in honor of this newly recognized day.
We proudly host outreach and comprehensive support services programs to assist first-generation, low-income, or otherwise underrepresented students in higher education.
The McNair Scholars Program is a federally funded TRIO Program that provides encouragement, guidance, and mentorship to underrepresented students in preparation for graduate school.
Connect with fellow first-generation students and gain an extensive support system through this year-long mentorship program, housed under Campus Life.
The Retention Initiative for Student Excellence (RISE) program assists a select group of talented first-year students transitioning from high school to OSU.
