We were the first in our families to walk the UF campus.
Now we're the network that makes sure no one walks it alone.
UF First Gen Alumni Association
A community of first-generation Gators, built to support the next one.
What We Do
Community
UF FGAA connects first-generation UF alumni across the country: a network built on shared experience, not just shared alma mater.
Events
From virtual meetups to in-person gatherings, we're building regular ways for first-gen Gators to stay connected to each other and to UF.
Scholarships
We support the Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars Program directly: real funding for the first-gen students coming up behind us.
Being first doesn't mean going it alone.
Whether you're a UF alum looking to reconnect, or you want to help the next first-gen Gator find their way — there's a place for you here.
UF First Gen Alumni Association (UF FGAA) is an official affiliate group of the University of Florida Alumni Association, built by and for first-generation Gators worldwide.
UF FGAA is an affiliated organization of the University of Florida Alumni Association. Membership is free, just sign up!
Joining UF FGAA connects you with fellow first-generation Gators across the country, gives you access to community events, mentorship, and networking. And it helps support the Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars Program for the next generation of first-gen students!
