Proud to be First Gen!

We are Proud to be First Generation at UH Mānoa!

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa was recently recognized as a First Generation serving institution by the Center for First Generation Student Success, an initiative of NASPA and the Suder Foundation. As of academic year 2015-16, the Center for First Generation Student Success reports that 56% of undergraduates nationally were first-generation college students (neither parent had a bachelor’s degree), and 59% of these students were also the first sibling in their family to go to college.
