What is The First Generation Project

The First Generation Project (FG) aims to increase the number of First Generation students in the post-secondary education system, whether it be in college, university, or in an apprenticeship program.

For Post-Secondary Students: The FG Project also assists students who are already attending a post-secondary institution. The FG Project offers continued support in the form of information sharing about scholarships and bursaries, networking, volunteer opportunities, and social events.

For High School Students and Youth: The FG project motivates students in high school, as well as youth who are currently out of school, in pursuing their education past high school. Through the services it provides, The FG Project helps students explore their future academic and career options.
