Student Registration

 Who Can Register as a student?

Anyone studying for a university degree (at any level) who meets our definition of a first-generation student can register with My Academic Family. We ask students to commit to at least monthly meetings with a matched mentor for our Mentorship Programme.

My Academic Family defines a ‘first-generation’ student as anyone studying within the UK who does not have at least one parent with a degree of the same level. We also include students who do not have access to or support from parents who might hold degrees due to being in the care system, being estranged from their parents/family, or being a displaced/forced migrant student.
