First Generation Scholarship

Inver Hills and the TRIO Student Support Services program celebrate our first-generation college students! First-generation students are trailblazers who demonstrate creativity, resilience, and resourceful in navigating higher education.

The First Generation scholarship rewards first-generation students for using their creative and artistic abilities to express their experiences. Applicants should submit a response to the question, "How has being a first-generation college student affected your college experience?" using the application linked below.

Finalists from the entries will be selected and shared. Inver Hills will host a public vote to determine the winners of the scholarships.
