First Generation Facts


  • More than 14.7% of students attending The New School are considered first-generation
  • A higher percentage of first-generation than continuing-generation students used financial aid services.


To be considered first gen, students must

  • Parents have not earned a bachelor’s degree

We include graduate students and international students as part of our first-gen community.*

We want to hear from you.....


As a committee, we believe that the voices of our students directly matter the most. We are interested in creating a Student-led Work Group catered to ensuring that all NS Firsts programming efforts align with the needs and wants of students. Are you interested in being a leader for your first gen community? Please fill out the form below.
