Sponsored By: Senator Roger Marshall

Passed Senate

Summary

Designates November 8, 2025 as National First-Generation College Celebration Day. The resolution defines a first-generation college student as someone whose parent or sole supporting parent did not complete a baccalaureate degree. It links the date to the signing of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and highlights Federal TRIO programs and the Pell Grant as central efforts to expand access for low-income and first-generation students. The resolution notes about 54 percent of degree-seeking students were first-generation at introduction and urges Americans to celebrate their role in building the future workforce.
