DESCRIPTION

Imagine Your Life Today If No One In Your Family Had Ever Graduated from College. Just imagine how hard it would be to go through the entire college application process with no support. No emotional, financial or experiential support. You probably remember applying to college. You know the risks required and determination needed. But, it's hard to be first when you lack the resources and support you need. Only 1 out of every 10 first generation college students will earn a bachelor's degree within six years. First Graduate is working with you to change that - together we can make a better San Francisco. An investment in a First Graduate student is an investment in all of our futures. Together, let's make a better San Francisco. A donation to First Graduate provides tutoring, college application fees, and family education workshops to name just a few of the ways you can make a difference. Join us to inspire the next generation of First's. http://www.firstgraduate.org/InspireAFirst #InspireAFirst
