Am i considered first generation college student? And when does the Bill gates millenium scholarship open?

Okay, I might sound retarded right now, but please not hateful comments. My mother finished college in another country, but only did two years at a Community College. But my father on the other hand never attended college. Would I still be considered first generation? Both neither pursued a college degree in the United States. And, when does the Bill Gates Millennium scholarship usually open? I know the deadline is January 11th for this year, but I am only a junior. I will be applying for it in the year of 2013-2014. I would like to know when it will be the first day it will open for that year for I won't miss a day! I want as much time as possible so I would be able to write exquisite essay's. Thank you!

Well if she didn't collect any aid from USA for her education, then yeah you can actually claim first generation college student.

You do not sound "retarded" at all. Yes you are a first generation college student. If neither your mom or dad has a Bachelor's Degree, then you are considered a firstgen college student. Congrats.

By the way, the word "retarded" is a very offensive term. Although I know you meant "I don't want to sound like I don't know better", someone could read how you use the word "retarded" and unfairly judge you. I hope that helps! Check me out on Twitter!
