FLI Students and the UR Community

We celebrate annually on November 8 to commemorate the signing of the Higher Education Act (“HEA”) of 1965. This act created federal financial aid programs to fund students’ educations and made key investments in universities. Many of the HEA’s programs, promote postsecondary access, retention, and completion for today’s limited income, first-generation college students. We strive not only to celebrate first-gen students’ contributions to their communities but also to occasion systemic social change by dismantling barriers to first-generation student success. As part of our celebrations, we’ve asked the University of Richmond community -
''My parents always encouraged us to be the best at whatever career we chose. And while there was never pressure to go to college, I am proud to have been afforded the opportunity to get a degree and live my dream, of becoming an educator. I am very proud of my status as a first-generation college student.'' – Tina Hallock; University of Richmond
