      According to the U.S. Department of Education, a first-generation college student is:
      An individual whose parents did not complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree.

      More specifically, this means:

      If both parents (or the custodial parent, in the case of a single-parent home) did not earn a four-year bachelor鈥檚 degree, the student qualifies as first-generation.

      If a student lived with only one parent, and that parent did not complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree, the student is considered first-generation.

      If a parent earned an associate degree, attended college but didn鈥檛 finish, or completed a degree outside the U.S. that is not equivalent to a U.S. bachelor鈥檚 degree, the student still counts as first-generation.
