Thanks to a $20 million gift by ND alumnus Sean Cullinan and his wife, Sue, the 2016-2017 school year was the inaugural year for the new Office of Student Enrichment
OSE's goal is to help every Notre Dame student get the most out of their college experience through financial assistance programs and scholarships
10% of the Notre Dame student body is the first in their family to go to college (Class Profile)
Being a first-generation student and coming from a low socioeconomic status background only has a 60% overlap at ND
75% of Notre Dame students come from the top 20% family income bracket, while only 1.6% come from the bottom 20%
However... 62% of students coming from the bottom fifth will move up to the top fifth as adults! (NYT)
The purpose of 1stG ND shall be to foster a community where first generation students can find support, expand their network, form new friendships, and become aware of campus resources available to them.
