Support First-Gen Students
Your donation changes lives
Find Your FGCB School
For students and their parents or guardians on topics such as the college admissions process, financial aid process, filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and what student support services will be available at colleges.
Of all the graduations I attend, the one hosted by First Generation College Bound is the most moving. These are the students that have beaten the odds, followed their hearts, believed that they could become the first in their families to earn a college degree. For 20 years Joe Fisher and FGCB have been the North Star for many hundreds of kids, beginning in elementary school and staying with them through matriculation from college. You cannot help but support a program like FGCB!
GMGF Field Trip to Towson University
Great Minds Great Futures (GMGF) attended another college tour, this time to Towson University for their Open House!
Students were able to speak with different department personnel. Some of those fields our students were interested in, included: Computer Science, Technology, Health, Education, Music, Theater, and many more. Students were able to experience the Dining Hall on campus for lunch.
They were also able to choose to go to different sessions such as the College of Business & Economics, College of Education, College of Health Professions, and the Honors College. It was an incredible opportunity for our GMGF Students.
Thank you to all who attended!
College Access School Sites
FGCB partners with nine high schools in Prince George’s County to provide targeted, on-site college access support to expand opportunity for students with the greatest financial need. We work directly within these school communities to help students prepare for, enroll in, and complete college. – This language should be anywhere where the Find Your School box is located. I assume changing it once will change it in any footer where it appears.
The program generates a blanket of help and support similar to that of a "domino effect," the triumph regenerates from generation-to-generation in our family starting from the eldest sibling to the youngest.
