First-Gen and/or Low-Income Graduate Students

The mission of FGLI Grads is to build community and support first-generation and/or low-income graduate students at UC Berkeley. First-Generation grad students are students whose parents or guardians earned less than a bachelor’s degree. Low-Income grad students are generally students who were Pell-Grant eligible during undergrad. We acknowledge these terms are not perfect, so we welcome any members who identify with our mission. We also invite Cal staff and faculty who wish to support, and advocate with, FGLI graduate students.
