Discover Northeastern University's commitment to First Gen students in the latest First Gen FM podcast episode. Join me, Jen, as I journey solo this week, pulling back the curtain on the scholarship selection process, particularly focusing on the Torch Scholars Program. 

This week's episode shares stories and insights, as I recount the moments from our pre-interview tech checks and share the balance of what we all do,  all the administrative tasks with the human element of our work. You'll hear about the robust support system that Northeastern extends to its First Gen, Pell Grant-eligible scholars – from academic advising to personal guidance. It's a narrative that goes beyond mere academic success; it's about cultivating a nurturing environment where potential is recognized and harnessed. So, listen as I share how we use meta-cognitive variables and a virtual interview process to select these remarkable students at Northeastern University.
