First Generation Families
WPI understands that parents and family members want to help, too. As a community we are committed to supporting not only your student, but all parents, families, and champions of their First Generation student. Thank you for visiting this website and encouraging your student to become a college graduate!
For Parents, Families & Champions
If you are the parent or guardian of a middle or high school student who wants to go to college, you can find helpful information about getting into college here. You can also visit our WPI Admissions First Gen page at Be the First at WPI.
You are also encouraged to visit Undergraduate Admissions and Tuition and Financial Aid.
If your student is the first member of your family to attend college, they are likely to face some unique challenges. However, we are here to support them and there are several things you can do to help your student thrive at WPI.
