Empowering First-Generation College Students at KCC
At Klamath Community College, we believe every student deserves the support to thrive—especially those blazing the trail as first-generation college students. The First-Gen Student Success Program is a state-funded initiative that provides targeted academic, financial, and co-curricular support to students who are the first in their families to attend college, are low-income, GED completers, or otherwise underrepresented as defined by ORS 342.120.
