## About this scholarship

The First@Alverno First-Generation Scholarship is a renewable award program designed for Alverno College students who are the first in their families to pursue a four-year degree. To qualify for this opportunity, applicants must be under the age of 21, enrolled in the weekday undergraduate program, and maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Because the program is restricted to Pell Grant-eligible students, applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to demonstrate their financial need. This funding operates as a last-dollar scholarship, meaning it covers the remaining cost of full tuition and fees after other financial aid is applied. This allows recipients to focus on their academic coursework and community involvement without the burden of tuition debt. Interested students must submit a separate application to be considered. For the most up-to-date information regarding application deadlines, please see the official page for current dates.
