Be First at Rutgers

Rutgers–New Brunswick welcomes students who are the first in their family to attend college. In fact, 25% of students in last year's incoming class were first generation. We offer several programs designed to ensure the success of historically excluded, first-generation, and low-income students. For example, Thrive SSS Scholars gain access to workshops and academic coaching in one-on-one and group settings, and the Paul Robeson Success Institute offers a three-day, high-impact summer experience that engages in peer community-building and jumpstarts your Rutgers network with faculty, staff, and current students.
