Why We Focus on First-Gen Success
Navigating college as a first-generation student is a journey marked by resilience and determination. First-gen students blaze trails, often without the roadmap that comes from familial college experiences.
Yet, despite their immense potential and resilience, first-gen students face unique challenges that impact their ability to succeed. The numbers speak to this challenge.
33% of first-gen students leave school within three years of enrolling.
90% of first-gen/low-Income students have not graduated within 6 years.
Medium income for first-gen graduates is 37% less than their peers.
But the first-gen story isn’t one of deficit. First-gen students step onto campus with eagerness and a wealth of potential. They’re often just less familiar with navigating campus services and opportunities like their continuing generation peers.
Includifi specializes in improving first-gen student success. Our innovative approach helps colleges & universities level the playing field by equipping first-gen students with a dedicated hub of curated advice and resources to support their sense of belonging, enrollment, retention, and success.
