Success & Belonging at UNCP
UNCP does a great job supporting first-generation students through programming, trips
and mentoring. I love that this university takes the initiative to provide opportunities
for first-generation students and support us through financial hardships by offering
scholarships solely for first-gen students. It makes us feel like we have a community
on campus just for us.
