FIRST GRADUATE

We estimate that there are 2,000 sixth graders in the San Francisco Unified School District each year that could become first generation college graduates. By closing the opportunity gap in a way that aligns with District-stated goals-such as creating a college going culture in middle school-we are SFUSD's ideal partners. First Graduate® is the only college access program that starts in middle school and stays with students through college graduation... Our mission is to help students become the first in their families to graduate from college ready to pursue careers that are meaningful to them... We help students transition from middle school to academically rigorous high schools. We also provide intensive college counseling, standardized test preparation, college application planning, financial aid workshops for students and parents, access to summer enrichment programs, college visits, and help researching and finding college scholarships.
