    FAQ

    How do I find first-generation scholarships in the USA that fit my situation?
    Use this filtered view to compare eligibility, study level, field, amount, and deadline row by row. In this catalog slice, listings span levels from high school senior through graduate study, and official program pages are the place to confirm current rules.
    Can I apply if I’m an international student or permanent resident, not just a U.S. citizen?
    Some listings in this USA scholarship catalog show citizenship or residency labels such as U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, and international student. Check each row and then verify on the official source, because eligibility differs by program.
    What should I compare before I apply to first-generation scholarships?
    Focus on the basics that vary across these rows: who qualifies, study level, field of study, award amount, and deadline. Amounts vary by listing, and deadlines differ by program, so confirm both on the official scholarship page before you apply.
