How to Apply:
Follow this link to apply to the 2023-2024 Cohort. The deadline is April 15, 2023
Who is Eligible to Apply?
To apply, you must:
- Be a Sociology major OR declare by the add/drop deadline of the Fall 2023 semester.
- Be a first-generation college student (meaning that neither one of your parents has a four-year college degree).
Why you should apply:
This is a unique resume-building opportunity, a potentially transformative personal experience, and a chance to participate in the formation of an innovative new program for first-generation college students at the University of Michigan.
How you should apply:
The application is easy to complete and available online. We are not looking for students with the highest grades or students who have joined the most student organizations. We do not require letters of recommendation. We are looking for students who want to be leaders in their communities, who view themselves as trailblazers, and/or who believe they have qualities that set them apart in some important way from most students at the University of Michigan.
