The criteria for first-generation college students under the Higher Education Act Amendments do not consider the complexities of situations where parents earned degrees in other countries or siblings/grandparents have degrees, leading to different challenges for these students.
Common App's research delved into the impact of various parental degree levels on the classification of first-generation students, highlighting the diversity of experiences within this group.
Data from Common App shows the variety in parental backgrounds among college applicants, with a significant proportion having parents who did not obtain a bachelor's degree but attended some college.
