FIRST 2012-2013 Student Application

Greeting prospective FIRST students,

Below you will find the FIRST Generation Success program application.

What you can expect this summer is a notification of acceptance from us in June. After that, you will hear from your 2012-2013 mentor in August, before you get to campus.

We will have a large Welcome Event before classes begin. This will give you an opportunity to meet our FIRST staff and meet new and returning first-generation Clemson students.

Each semester, mentors and mentees will be asked to complete regular interactions together.

There will be monthly meetings to obtain knowledge of all the great campus resources that can benefit you! These are informal meetings with interesting and dynamic guest speakers.

Please note that the FIRST Summer Preview Program is a separate application. Specific information and invitations to apply to the Summer Preview will be sent in May.

Thank you for applying to FIRST!
