(a)(1) Is a citizen or national of the United States.

(1) A potential first-generation college student;

(2) A low-income individual;  or

(3) An individual who has a high risk for academic failure.

(c) Has a need for academic support, as determined by the grantee, in order to pursue successfully a program of education beyond high school.
