First Generation Students

As a First Generation student at Trent University there are many social events to help connect you to other First Generation students, faculty and university staff.

Who is a First Generation Student?

First Generation students are the first in their family to attend a post-secondary institution.  More specifically, students who have parents who did not complete a post-secondary (college or university) degree or did not attend a post-secondary (university or college) institution are considered 'first generation students'.
