Imagine Your Life Today If No One In Your Family Had Ever Graduated from College. Just imagine how hard it would be to go through the entire college application process with no support. No emotional, financial or experiential support. You probably remember applying to college. You know the risks required and determination needed. But, it's hard to be first when you lack the resources and support you need. Only 1 out of every 10 first generation college students will earn a bachelor's degree within six years. First Graduate is working with you to change that - together we can make a better San Francisco. An investment in a First Graduate student is an investment in all of our futures. Together, let's make a better San Francisco. A donation to First Graduate provides tutoring, college application fees, and family education workshops to name just a few of the ways you can make a difference. Join us to inspire the next generation of First's. http://www.firstgraduate.org/InspireAFirst #InspireAFirst

1. WHAT DOES IT FEEL
LIKE TO BE FIRST?
You know because you’ve been there.
Maybe you were the first to achieve something or maybe
you remember the feeling of succeeding for the first
time. But, it’s hard to be first when you lack the support
you need to be successful.
8 students make it past
the first year of college.
6 students earn a degree.
2 will graduate with a
Bachelor’s degree.
By 2025, California
will be 1 million
graduates short
of the number
it will need.
Only 15 percent
of students in the
San Francisco Unified
School District have
a family history of
college going.
College graduates
earn over $1 million more
throughout their working
lives compared to students
who only receive a high
school diploma.
100 percent of
First Graduate
students are
accepted to
accredited colleges
and universities.
For every dollar invested
in education, there is an
average return of $2.50 to
the San Francisco economy.
