First-Generation Students

OSU is proud to be home to thousands of first-generation college students, faculty, and staff. First generation students come from families where neither a parent nor guardian has a four-year degree from a college or university. Here at OSU, these students make up 20-25% of the student population.

Oklahoma State is dedicated to supporting and serving anyone who identifies as First Generation. Programs like F1RST2GO provide support for first generation students through mentorship, creating holistic models of support and strengthening the sense of community amongst first-generation students.

Giving to first-generation student programs ensures that these students are always supported, encouraged, and able to continue their education to eventually wear the teal graduation cord with pride.
