First-generation learners face numerous challenges in higher education, including financial limitations, lack of familial support, and unfamiliarity with academic expectations. These students often struggle with navigating the intricacies of college life, such as understanding financial aid processes and effectively utilizing campus resources. Limited access to information can hinder their confidence and motivation. Additionally, social isolation may lead to feelings of alienation. To overcome these barriers, supportive programs addressing their unique needs can foster resilience and encourage persistence in their educational journeys. Thus, tailored support is essential to improve success rates for first-generation learners.
