                              We are exceptionally proud to welcome all first-generation Seawolves to our campus!
                                       As a first-generation student, you are embarking on an incredible journey and paving
                                       the way for future generations in your family. At Stony Brook, we understand the obstacles
                                       that you may come across and are here to provide you with the resources, guidance
                                       and community that you need to thrive. We aim to provide you and your family with
                                       the information, resources and confidence to achieve your college degree and succeed.
                                       From mentoring to financial aid assistance, we have your back every step of the way. 
                              
                              
                        
                         
                     
                     
                        
                           
                              Here at Stony Brook, we have many first-generation students and many staff and faculty
                                       who were the first in their families to attend college.  We celebrate you, your motivation,
                                       your determination, and your resilience, while also recognizing that there are things
                                       about the college experience you may not know yet. Many first-generation students
                                       enter college with strong motivation, a passion for education, and the drive to be
                                       successful. Despite this, first-generation students may not have the advantage of
                                       a parent or supporter who can explain what college is really like and prepare them
                                       for what is to come. Our goal is to help you make a smooth and stress-free transition
                                       to college, as well as have a clear understanding about how college differs from high
                                       school, what you should expect, and what you are responsible for.
