Elyssa Yero, an upcoming sophmore at UWF majoring in Mathematics, is the first in her family to attend college. The University of West Florida is proud to support first generation students, just like Elyssa. In the 2009/2010 fiscal year, the UWF Foundation provided a total of $390,000 (half gifts & half state match) in scholarships funds to 267 first generation students at UWF.
