The team at Godoy Law Office is excited to share The First Generation Scholarship. We are passionate about helping immigrants and their families achieve the American dream, and our goal with this scholarship is to provide financial assistance to first generation U.S. college students that come from immigrant families. Applicants may still apply if awaiting admission or deciding on an institution. However, the selected individual must be enrolled for the upcoming Fall semester before receiving the financial aid.
For all students interested in applying for The First Generation Scholarship, applicants must be enrolled in an accredited community college, undergraduate or graduate program and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. To apply for this scholarship, interested candidates should provide the following: a current resume with contact and education information; an official or unofficial academic transcript; an essay of 700-1,000 words discussing the obstacles you have faced as a first-generation American and how those experiences have shaped you into who you are today.
