The GEN1 Scholars Program assists APU's first-generation college students with resources and opportunities for academic, professional, and personal growth. We strive to prepare students for their academic and post-graduation success through various programs and services. It is our mission to recognize and celebrate the unique cultural capital first-generation college students bring with them to the university in an attempt to foster an environment that will allow them to thrive and create community at Azusa Pacific University.
