A first-generation college student is a student whose parent(s) did not complete a four-year college or university degree. However, we understand that this definition may not fully account for the rich diversity of first-generation college students. For example, your parent(s) could have some college experience but did not earn a degree from a four-year college or university. Your grandparents, aunts/uncles and siblings could also have degrees, and you would still qualify as first generation. (Adapted from Loyola University Chicago)
