The Promotion of Persistence for First Generation Hispanic College Students
Abstract
This qualitative research study examined the lived experiences of five successful first generation Hispanic college students. Findings from this study confirm the influences for student success in college regarding their persistence towards graduation. These factors included: commitment, expectations, support systems, feedback, involvement, and the learning process. Other conclusions from the study included the significance of role models and mentorships for students throughout their college experience. The building of relationships supported the students through the transition into college as well as steering them through the barriers and challenges they faced while in college. Findings also confirmed the significance of family influences, financial obligations, and self-transformation.
