[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column_text]Maisha Idris \u201919 (above) dreamed of attending college as a child, despite long odds. Her parents were immigrants from Bangladesh who settled in New York City. Neither graduated from high school. Both worked low-paying jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was fortunate to have teachers who emphasized the importance of a college degree, and my parents were very supportive,\u201d Idris says. \u201cI grew up feeling I would go to college, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n
Valedictorian of her high school class in Queens, Idris was accepted at Rochester. Through scholarships and financial aid, she was able to enroll. But her first year was difficult.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was confused about how to utilize all of the resources available to me and embarrassed about my background,\u201d says the computer science major. \u201cI regretted coming to college every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The\u00a0David T. Kearns Center, the University\u2019s academic home for first-generation students, was a game changer for Idris. She met regularly with an advisor who made sure her studies were on track. She was introduced to the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning and learned better study skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went from feeling isolated to knowing there were people on campus dedicated to the success of students like me,\u201d Idris says. \u201cI finally felt I belonged.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last August, she received an Edmund A. Hajim Endowed Scholarship. Established by board chair emeritus Ed Hajim \u201958, the scholarship is awarded to two engineering students per class who exhibit \u201cacademic strength, intellectual promise and innovative thinking.\u201d She\u2019s set to graduate in May and has a job offer in hand as a software engineer for Raytheon.<\/p>\n
Idris\u2019s story is striking, but not unusual at Rochester, where about 20 percent of undergraduates are first-generation, or \u201cfirst-gen\u201d students\u2014those whose parents didn\u2019t attend college. Several departments provide resources to help such students transition into college life, and a student organization offering peer-to-peer support to first-generation students was created last spring. Many students are aided by scholarships that lift the financial barriers that would otherwise prevent them from attending college.<\/p>\n

Two months before Michael Lin \u201921 was born, his family moved from China to Queens. When Lin was in the sixth grade, his father died, leaving his mother to support the family with a factory job. Lin was determined to enroll in college, but worried about the cost.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Alan and Jane Handler Endowed Scholarship<\/a>, established by University Board Chair Richard Handler \u201983 and his wife, Martha, erased those fears. The University\u2019s leading award, its benefits include financial support, individual mentorship, and access to previous Handler Scholars. \u201cIt was a blessing,\u201d Lin says. He struggled his first year but befriended fellow students in Tiernan Hall and resident advisors who became mentors. He joined Sigma Chi fraternity and UR Photography.<\/p>\n He also is helping future first-generation students apply to college\u2014a process he found \u201cconfusing and stressful.\u201d He proposed a mentoring program involving Handler Scholars at\u00a0East High School<\/a>\u2014part of the Rochester City School District, but managed in partnership with the University. Superintendent Shaun Nelms \u201913W (EdD), who also teaches at the Warner School, accepted the idea, and the Handler Scholars are now part of East\u2019s Step to College program, offering advice and hosting students on the River Campus[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1086″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” mkd_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=”50px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#fac600″ border_style=”solid” width=”300″ thickness=”3″][vc_empty_space height=”50px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][vc_single_image image=”1106″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” mkd_css_animation=””][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n When Marines Espinal \u201921 moved from the Dominican Republic to New York City at age 10, she realized she had \u201cthe opportunity of a lifetime\u201d awaiting her. \u201cI became really passionate about education,\u201d she says. \u201cI wanted to make my mom proud and be able to provide for her in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n Espinal enrolled in Rochester\u2019s\u00a0Early Connection Opportunity<\/a>, a summer program that prepares first-year students for the academic and social challenges of college. \u201cEntering college as a first-generation student was really intimidating,\u201d she says. \u201cECO helped me get to know the campus and the resources I could use.\u201d<\/p>\n She joined the dance group Ma\u2019Frisah and found her \u201chome on campus\u201d at the\u00a0Office of Minority Student Affairs<\/a>. \u201cWhenever I\u2019m down, I know I can go there and see faces that will brighten my day and give me hope and motivation,\u201d she says.
