位于宾夕法尼亚州的 Shippensburg 大学11月13日宣布，该校获得美国教育部「强化机构计划」（Title III）近300万美元拨款，为期五年，专门用来支持第一代大学生完成学业。
该校说，第一代大学生，即父母没有大学学位的学生，占2026级新生的45%，但他们的留存率比其他学生低约12个百分点。拨款将用来扩大该校的教科书共享网络，降低学生的教材开支；新建第一代学生休息与资源空间；并加强学业辅导与导师配备，帮助新生适应大学学习与生活。
「强化机构计划」是美国教育部的联邦资助项目，面向服务大量低收入与第一代学生的院校。Shippensburg 大学是宾夕法尼亚州立高等教育系统成员校，这笔拨款将从本学年起分五年投入。

Shippensburg University Wins Nearly $3 Million Federal Grant to Support First-Generation Students
Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania announced on November 13 that it has received a grant of nearly $3 million over five years from the U.S. Department of Education's Title III Strengthening Institutions Program, dedicated to helping first-generation college students complete their degrees.
The university says first-generation students, those whose parents do not hold a college degree, make up 45 percent of the class of 2026, yet their retention rate trails other students by about 12 percentage points. The funding will expand the campus Textbook Network to cut students' book costs, create a new first-generation student lounge and resource space, and strengthen advising and mentoring for new students.
The Strengthening Institutions Program is a federal funding stream for colleges serving large numbers of low-income and first-generation students. Shippensburg, a member of Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education, will receive the funds over five years starting this academic year.
