First-Generation Scholarship
Get financial assistance toward becoming a first-generation college graduate.
Five $1,000 scholarships
Being the first in your family to graduate from college is a huge accomplishment, but it can be expensive. Ease some of the financial burden by applying for a First Generation Scholarship from the Mountain America Foundation to attend Snow College. Membership is not required to apply.
Scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of each candidate's commitment to equity in education, leadership and academic performance. The program is open to students who meet all the minimum qualifications. We strongly encourage students that are underrepresented in higher education to apply.
