[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent from CA here. We are low income (my kid is a freshman so I am early to the game) and it can be argued that he is first gen (neither of his parents went to a US school). He used to be (and is planning to be) in an AVID type program. Any schools that are lax re: first gen definition? I.e. allow kids with parents educated outside of the U.S. to claim the status? Thanks [/quote] No, it cannot be argued that your DC is first gen. You and your DH have a college degree (perhaps even a Masters or higher) from a university abroad. You should be ashamed of yourself to even consider gaming the system this way. Both DH and I were very well educated overseas and we would never do what you're suggesting. [/quote] DP. I do think some colleges consider this “first gen.” It varies school to school, so you must check! [/quote]
