No, by the majority of definitions you are NOT going to be first-gen (because of your mom, not your brother)

However, with that said, I looked very hard for first-gen scholarships and they were extremely few and far between. They generally had several other components such as low SES, minority applicants, etc and then essays, recommendations, etc galore.
