Did you know it's National First-Generation Celebration Week?
Less than 10% of students from low-income communities ever graduate from college and, according to the Lumina Foundation's 2020 report, NV ranks last in degree attainment.
Yet, the resiliency and optimism of LIT students prove what's possible with equitable opportunity. Check out some of LIT's Postsecondary student stories here. We are proud to have a 88% college persistence rate with first-generation college students because of your support! Check out more about this important celebration week here.
