What is a first-year student in college?
The difference between a first-year student and a college freshman is a first-year student is a person who has never attended college or has any post-secondary school experience. Whereas, a freshman may have some college experience but has not obtained the credits beyond freshman expectations. Within CECH we offer several services, scholarships, and resources that will accommodate first-year college students to allow for an easy transition into their college experience.
First-Year CECH Scholarships
Scholarships are available to our first-year students upon entry into their program within CECH. You are automatically a candidate for this scholarship when you submit your application by the early action deadline of December 1. This scholarship is merit and need-based. If you have additional questions, please reach out to Tiffany Chin. For additional financial assistance, please visit the UC Scholarship page.
