First Champion Program
First Champion… you’re the first and never alone.
LU ONE’s First Champion Program is Liberty University’s community for first-generation college students, built to support, connect, and champion you every step of the way to graduation.
Who is a First Champion?
First Champion is a Liberty University initiative designed to support and celebrate first-generation college students; students whose parents or guardians did not complete a four-year college degree. Through connection, resources, and community, First Champion exists to ensure no student walks this journey alone.
If neither parent nor guardian completed a four-year degree, you qualify!
