We are excited to announce the launch of the Nu Zeta Chapter of Alpha Alpha Alpha (Tri-Alpha) at the University of Maryland–our campus’s first-ever chapter of this prestigious national honor society dedicated to first-generation college students. Tri-Alpha celebrates and supports first-gen students who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and leadership potential.
In addition to inviting applications from eligible students to take part in this historic milestone—the founding of Tri-Alpha at UMD—we also invite faculty and staff who are first-gen college graduates to become founding members of the Nu Zeta Chapter and take part in shaping its legacy on our campus.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Undergraduate first-gen students with a minimum of 30 earned credits and a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher
- Graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni who identify as first-generation college students and who are willing to serve as a mentor for first-generation students.
