Are you the first? Not sure?
A first generation student is a student whose parent(s)/guardian(s) has/have not attended a post-secondary institution. If your siblings have attended a post-secondary institution but your parents/guardians have not, you are still considered a first generation student.
Durham College and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities recognize that first generation students may have unique needs and experiences. The first generation student co-ordinator is here to encourage and support you while you work towards achieving your dream of becoming a college graduate – the first in your family!
