FOCUS: Fostering Opportunity, Community, and Unwavering Support for Underrepresented First-Generation Students

We are now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 academic year.

FOCUS is an intensive year-long program created to aid in eliminating the gap in post-graduation outcomes and starting salaries for underrepresented first-generation college students.

Students who are selected as participants for the program will receive a $2,500 scholarship to mitigate the financial burden of participation over two semesters.
