One of the most searched education topics in 2025 is “resources for first-generation college students.” And for good reason: first-gen students often face challenges beyond tuition costs—such as navigating unfamiliar systems, balancing family obligations, and dealing with imposter syndrome.
Martin Eagan, a strong advocate for leveling the playing field, understands the importance of mentorship and financial relief. Based in Montville, and a longtime supporter of education in Morristown New Jersey, Martin launched the Martin Eagan Scholarship Fund specifically to support students who show resilience, leadership, and the desire to grow—regardless of their background.
Scholarships tailored to first-gen students don’t just provide funding—they validate hard work and help close the opportunity gap. According to Martin, “Many of these students are pioneers for their families. They’re setting a new precedent. We need to stand behind them.”
With rising living costs and increased competition for financial aid, programs like the Martin Eagan Scholarship offer both tangible and emotional support. In many cases, one award can mean the difference between staying enrolled and dropping out.
