First-Generation at Montana State

What is a First-Generation Student?

How do I know if I'm a first-generation student?

Did either of my parents graduate from a 4-year university?

• If not, then you are a first-generation student

What if my parents started college but never finished?

• You are a first-generation student

What if I have an older sibling that is in college/graduated from college?

• If your parents did not graduate from a 4-year college or university, then you're still a first-generation student!

First-Generation Data from Montana State University

In partnership with University Data and Analytics, the First-Generation committee has created a dashboard where you can see institutional data surrounding First-Generation students.
