How is the First-Gen Fit Score calculated?
| Metric | Weight |
|---|---|
| First-Gen Student Completion Rate | 35 pts |
| Pell Grant Rate (affordability) | 20 pts |
| Net Price for Lowest Income Band (<$30k) | 20 pts |
| First-Gen Student Share | 10 pts |
| Full-Time Retention Rate | 15 pts |
Missing data fields are excluded from the weighted average so partial data still produces a valid score.
