Would I be considered First-Gen?

Will you be considered a domestic or international student for college applications? Schools that I’m familiar with limit their first-gen programs to domestic students.

If you are considered domestic, then go to the websites of colleges that interest you and look in their admissions sections to see if they discuss outreach and support programs for first generation students. Very often, those sections will clearly list the criteria they use to designate students as first gen.
