First Generation
College Students
Summer 2015
First Generation Defined
• Siblings are not included
• An associate’s degree does not disqualify student
• Hours toward a bachelor’s degree does not
disqualify
At UK, 1 in 5 students are first generation
“Neither parent or guardian has graduated with a
bachelor’s degree”
Why does all this matter?
Nationally, only 24% of first generation students graduate from college.
At UK:
• 25% graduate in 4 years
• 30% graduate in 5 years
• 35% graduate in 6 years
Approximately 30% of first generation students leave after 1 year.
