SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships for First-Generation College Students.
EAESSI helps uninsured women across Northern Virginia get free mammograms and catch breast cancer early.
If cost has kept you from a mammogram, that stops here. We cover the screening and walk with you from your first question to your appointment.
You are breaking new ground. First generation students carry a special kind of courage, and plenty of college scholarships exist just for you. About one third of college students are the first in their family to attend, so you are far from alone. EAESSI is proud to support you.
What are first-generation scholarships?
They are college scholarships created for first generation students, meaning students whose parents did not finish a four year degree. Many weigh your drive and story alongside grades, and some add mentoring on top of the money. EAESSI offers exactly this kind of support.
You do not need a perfect transcript. You need a story worth telling, and we help you tell it.
Why do first-generation students need extra support?
Being first means learning the system without a family guide. From the FAFSA to deadlines to campus life, first generation students often figure it out alone. Scholarships plus guidance close that gap, which is why EAESSI pairs both.
The right support makes a real difference in reaching graduation. That is the whole reason we do this work.
How EAESSI helps first-generation students?
We award college scholarships to local first generation students in Northern Virginia and add free FAFSA help so your financial aid and your scholarship work together. You bring the drive. We help with the rest.
