First Scholars Program at Washington State University

First Scholars Program at Washington State University First Scholars™ is a comprehensive program that supports first-generation students and assists them in completing their college degrees.

Creating a support network for first generation scholars through mentoring, academic engagement, co-curricular involvement, teambuilding and leadership development. Participants form a cohort and generally take a common course. First Scholars delivers multiple levels of support, including a full-time program coordinator and peer mentors to augment existing university services. Initially, the staff

and programming focus on assisting scholars with adjusting to campus life by introducing campus resources and encouraging participation in campus organization and activities. The next phase involves each scholar, guided by the program coordinator, creating an individualized strategic plan based on his or her results on the Student Strengths Inventory™ (SSI). The plan identifies strengths and areas for growth and outlines strategies and interventions tied to goals. Scholars retake the SSI periodically, as a part of continually updating and fine-tuning their individualized strategic plans throughout their college career. Students selected for the program participate in social activities, workshops, service opportunities and maintain regular contact with their peer mentors and the program coordinator.
