At Utah State University, a first-generation college student is anyone whose parents and/or guardians have NOT yet graduated with a 4-year, bachelor's degree in the U.S.
Discover The Potential Within
Founded in 2016 by a student and director who saw the potential within our first-generation students. Aggie First Scholar's mission is to provide a framework to develop and discover the potential within, while celebrating the success of our first-generation college students at USU. With the vision that every first-generation Aggie student graduates and excels beyond their four years at USU. Offering opportunities to earn college credit in scholarship and leadership, we extend a warm invitation to our Aggie First Scholars.
How do I Become Involved?
All first-generation students are recognized as Aggie First Scholars (AFS), and your level of involvement is completely up to you. All students are welcome to participate in our events and networking opportunities. If you would like to take part in the Scholar Pathway experience, please complete this survey to indicate your interest. We will follow up at the beginning of each semester to confirm your continued participation. Students who engage in the pathway are eligible for AFS scholarship consideration.
