First-generation college students have more than the financial burden of college. The numerous obstacles faced by low-income students could derail them from achieving college success even before they begin their first day of class.
First-generation college students blaze a new path, charging forward without role models in their family who can guide them. Future Sacramento scholars are achieving their college dreams because of our donors’ support and the students’ tenacity and exceptional perseverance to overcome obstacles.
Future Foundation of Sacramento is a robust five-year resource backed scholarship for first-in-family college students that creates a long-term connection with each scholarship recipient.
