First-Generation
- Student Identity
- An undergraduate whose parents or legal guardians did not graduate from a four-year college.
- Many first-generation students are trailblazers and pioneers, forging a new path for themselves and their families.
The first-generation population at Penn State New Kensington represents almost half of our students! You are not alone on this journey!
We know it can be an exciting and difficult time for first-generation students and their families to understand the process of applying to college! We want to provide you with the support and resources to help you navigate the process. Schedule an appointment with one of our admissions counselors or our financial aid coordinator.
