Our Story
For many first-generation students, college presents unique and difficult challenges. Students whose parents did not attend college are more than twice as likely to leave college within the first year, according to the U.S. Department of Education. At Eckerd, about 22% of students are the first in their family to attend college. A gift to First-Generation Student Scholarships supports these students as they navigate higher education and become part of the fabric of the Eckerd community.
Your gift of any size makes waves at Eckerd College. Join the movement today by making your gift! #WeGoFartherTogether
