ABSTRACTTRIO programs provide educational and career support to first-generation college students. Few studies, however, examine the program aspects that contribute to students’ success. In this study, self-determination theory is used to examine the experiences of eight former participants. The findings indicate that TRIO programs create environments that support psychological growth and integration by fostering autonomy through personal growth, asking for help, and investing in one’s future; competence by acting as confidence boosters, promoting interpersonal interactions, and helping students “practice” being college students; and relatedness by providing a “built-in” support group, a place of belonging, and fostering connections with others.KEYWORDS: First-generationself-determination theorymotivationTRIO Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTThis article reports on a study that investigated the benefits derived from a formal leadership development program where first-generation undergraduate college students serve as peer mentors for other first-generation college students. Seven students participated in the exploratory study. Data generated from a four-question open-ended response survey were analyzed using content and thematic analysis. Findings provide new understandings about the positive outcomes that may result from developing and implementing first-generation leadership programs.KEYWORDS: First-generation college studentleadership developmentidentity developmentprofessional developmentacademic developmentpeer mentoring Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTThe shift to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing inequalities and highlighted failures of U.S. higher education institutions to serve their students’ needs. The purpose of this exploratory quantitative survey study was to examine differences in students’ perceptions of academic and financial challenges encountered in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results highlighted differences by generation status, gender, and their intersections. Insight into the perceptions of these sub-populations can shed light on ways to reorganize higher educational structures to provide equitable student support in online environments and during times of crisis.KEYWORDS: Womenfirst-generationacademicsfinancial challengesonline learning AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank the Remote Work Task Force and the Research Subcommittee of the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women at Northern Illinois University for assistance with survey items.

ABSTRACTFirst-generation college students are unique. However, there are some professionals in academia who may question this fact. This is concerning and akin to dismissing the demographic differences that are unique to many of our students, thereby contributing to the extent to which our students may feel marginalized and/or underserved. Given that first-generation college students are enrolling in higher education institutions at unprecedented rates, and recent estimates have shown that approximately one third of all incoming college students are first-generation college students, it is vital that the question of “are first-generation college students really unique?” be clearly and concisely answered.KEYWORDS: First-generation college studentcultural capitalsocial capitalacademic performanceundergraduate education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
