What is First Generation College Celebration? First-Generation College Celebration (FGCC) is an annual opportunity to raise awareness of the first-generation college student identity by advancing an asset-based, national narrative of these students’ experiences and outcomes.
The Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the Center for First-generation Student Success launched the inaugural celebration in 2017, hundreds of higher education institutions, corporations, non-profits, and K-12 schools have joined together in recognizing the achievements of the first-gen community on and around November 8.
PreCollege Solutions is celebrating in a BIG Way!
1) Conducting a FREE College Prep Workshop in our CEO's hometown of Vivian, Louisiana on Saturday, November 4, 2023.
2) We are sending care packets to 25 First-Generation College Students in November.
3) We will be highlighting First-Generation College Graduates on our social media platforms in November.
How can you join in all of the FUN?

2) Become a mentor to a high school or college student.
3) Donate professional clothes to a high school or college.
