First Generation College Bound

Since 1990, First Generation College Bound (FGCB) has helped young people realize a dream that often seemed out of reach to be the first in their families to get a college education. This 'poverty solutions' organization continues to unleash human potential and has produced hundreds of college graduates, and millions of dollars in added lifetime earnings, leading to brighter futures for low-income families. FGCB graduates have attended some of the nation's most prestigious institutions of higher learning, and some have gone on to enter graduate schools, law, medical, and other professional schools.
