- Please write a short essay answering the question "What does it mean to be a First Generation Student?". We encourage you to write your essay in your own voice. While it’s fine to use tools like AI for brainstorming or editing, the essay should reflect your personal thoughts, experiences, and individuality. Please ensure that your essay is not written entirely by AI and includes personal examples and anecdotes where appropriate. Your unique perspective and voice are essential to helping us understand who you are and why you deserve a scholarship.
