Resources for Success
Whether you're looking for strategies and tips for success, a place to study or connect with other students, or have questions you need answered, this website will help you find the correct campus resource.

First Cats at U of A
The University of Arizona's first-gen community is represented in every facet of campus life – from classrooms to student centers, playing fields to research labs, behind a desk or up on stage – there are over 10,000 Wildcats (students, faculty, and staff) who are proud to be the first in their family to attend college. We invite you to discover ways in which you can connect with the first-gen community on campus!

First-Gen Forward Institution
We are proud to be a designated member of the FirstGen Forward Network. We strive to create a welcoming environment for first-generation college students and to provide you with the resources you need to be successful as a Wildcat and graduate from the U of A.
A special thank you to TIAA and FirstGen Forward for the grant that funded the Destination Arizona events and video resources on this page!
