First Generation Student Support

FIRST GENERATION STUDENT SUPPORT

For many students, college is a leap into the unknown. For first-generation students, it can feel even more overwhelming because they are navigating a path no one in their family has traveled before.

First to Finish at St. Petersburg College provides the support, resources, and sense of belonging that first-generation students need to thrive from their first day on campus to graduation. Through mentorship, community connections, academic support, and specialized programming, First to Finish helps students overcome barriers, build confidence, and achieve their educational goals.

Your gift helps ensure that first-generation students have access to the guidance and opportunities that can make all the difference in their college journey. By supporting First to Finish, you are investing in students who are brave, resilient, and determined to create a brighter future for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Together, we can help first-generation students not only start college, but finish strong.

Make your gift today and help more students become the first, and not the last, in their families to earn a college degree.

Here’s how your donation can make a difference:

• $100 can provide essential textbooks for a semester.
• $500 can cover the cost of a semester’s worth of supplies.
• $1,000 or more can provide a full scholarship covering tuition and fees for an entire semester.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant impact. Together, we can empower first-generation students to overcome financial obstacles and achieve their full potential.

Your support will not only change lives but also help build a stronger, more inclusive community.
