First-generation students, those who are first in their family to attend college, carry a bold and inspiring title — but one that comes with particular challenges. This makes their success stories even more impressive. Georgia Tech is immensely proud of our first-generation students, and we hope sharing their stories will embolden others on the path to earning a college degree.
