No, not automatically. but there are alot of scholarship opportunities for first generation minority students. Try looking on some scholarship search websites. Also, i know that Sallie Mae specifically offers a 1st gen scholarship right now, so go visit their website.

I never heard of that. Perhaps there is a community organization that funds that from there own pocket. I know I used to live in a city where the Korean association was very active in their community. They would give loans or grants to Korean families for a variety of reasons.

I don't know about that but there are plenty of scholarships for first generation students. The scholarships may cover books.

I hope not. I already have to pay for my kids books I don't want to pay for everyone else's books too. The government doesn't actually foot the bill for all that. The money I pay in taxes does. If I don't have to buy so many things for so many other people then maybe I could buy something for ME and MY FAMILY.
