More than half of all current college students are the first in their family to pursue a degree, and they often face extra academic, financial, and social hurdles their peers don't. This resolution designates November 8, 2025, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day," timed to the anniversary of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which created key programs like TRIO and Pell Grants that have helped millions of low-income and first-generation students access and complete college.
