First Generation Scholarship 2026

The First Generation Scholarship 2026 is a scholarship program established to recognize and honor first-generation college students for their academic and leadership initiatives. First-generation students are defined as the first in their families to attend a college or university. The program acknowledges that such leadership and ambition take courage, and NSHSS seeks to award students for their positive efforts. The scholarship provides financial support to help first-generation students overcome the unique challenges they face, from filling out financial aid to enrolling in classes, choosing a major, and making new friends. This award specifically recognizes the determination and resilience of students who are navigating the college experience without the benefit of parental guidance from those who have been through it before.
