Can someone elaborate this for me ?

Students must have completed the 8th grade, be between the ages of 13 and 19, and have a need for academic support in order to pursue a program of postsecondary education. All students must be either from low-income families or be potential first-generation college students. The program requires that two-thirds of the participants in a project must be both low-income and potential first-generation students. The remaining one-third must be either low-income, first-generation college students, or students who have a high risk for academic failure. What is first-generation college students ??? and how do you know if a student is at a high risk for academic failure ??

1. sounds like quite the dilemma, try cha cha if no one answers.

3. First Generation College Student means that no one in your family has gone to college. You would be the first.
4. First-generation college students: parents didn't have college education A student is at a high risk for academic failure if they are in foster care, have had emotional problems, have a disability, have nowhere to study at home because of over-crowding, truancy issues, come from certain ethnic groups who do not have English literature in the home, are from a poor single-parent family and cannot afford books or other disadvantages which may impede their ability to achieve their potential.
