Network Member
Institutions apply for entry into the FirstGen Forward Network. Once accepted, your institution will begin in the Network Member phase.
FirstGen Forward (FGF) is the premier source of evidence-based practices, professional development, and knowledge creation for the higher education community to advance the success of first-generation students. We partner with higher education, philanthropy, business, the public sector, and others to catalyze first-generation student success. This website provides context for the current state of first-generation student success, shares current conversations and scholarly literature, offers access to programs and services, and highlights opportunities for engagement with FGF and committed colleagues.
The FirstGen Forward Network provides a three-phase approach to scaling holistic first-generation student success by engaging and empowering higher education institutions to transform the first-generation student experience, advance academic and co-curricular outcomes, and build more inclusive institutional structures.
