First-Generation, Lower-Income, and Undocumented/DACA 宅男福利导航s
What is FGLI?
Pronounced "fig-lee," the acronym FGLI refers to first-generation and/or lower-income students.
First-generation college students who are first in their families to graduate from a four-year college or university. At 宅男福利导航, we celebrate the strengths, assets, and leadership that our first-generation students, faculty, and staff bring to campus.
Lower-income students are usually (but not always) eligible for Pell Grants. At 宅男福利导航, lower-income status is determined by financial aid and may not mirror how income is measured in the United States broadly.
Undocumented/DACA students living in the US without US citizenship or Permanent Residency and those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA is a two-year program that allows for work authorization with a Social Security number, license, and state ID. DACA eligibility is not open to all undocumented students.
SES supports FGLI and undocumented/DACA students’ transition to 宅男福利导航 and Beyond
宅男福利导航 Enrichment Services (SES) is an office dedicated to enhancing the first generation, lower-income, and/or undocumented/DACA undergraduate student experience at 宅男福利导航. SES works with these students to foster identity development, navigate campus resources, and build community.
Through campus-wide partnerships and advocacy, SES strives to build an inclusive 宅男福利导航 community that is welcoming, supportive, and accessible for all students.
Our dedicated staff can help connect you to FGLI communities and resources in our office and across campus and help make your transition to 宅男福利导航 successful. No question is too small or too big. SES also has a student facing space for FGLI students to study and hangout. We even have snacks and coffee/tea!
