• W844969724 abstract "The author defines a first-generation college student and describes struggle many such face in obtaining higher-education degrees. Using Heller's (2001) five categories of access, author outlines how public community college, more than any other type of higher-education institution, creates opportunities for many first-generation students. Community colleges, however, are not immune to challenges, especially low retention and transfer rates.IntroductionAmerica's colleges and universities have long been viewed en masse as some of best in world (Carey, 2004). Carey (2004) wrote that Higher education, and promise it represents, has long been one of main drivers of opportunity, social mobility and economic progress in our society (p. 1). According to American Association of Community Colleges (2014), approximately 45% of all college attend community colleges. That number will only rise if President Obama's plan to make a 2-year college education free to approximately 9 million over course of 10 years is endorsed by Congress and individual states (Jaffe, 2015). Community colleges have been instrumental in expanding access to higher education by enrolling groups of nontraditional such as members of ethnic minority groups, low-income, first-generation, or underprepared individuals (Bragg, Kim, 8C Barnett, 2006). Currently serving 36% of first-generation (American Association of Community Colleges, 2014), community colleges are a good fit for such individuals. However, while admitting nontraditional is an important aspect of community college mission, if these are not retained or do not transfer, then neither nor institutions have been successful.First-Generation College StudentsWhat is a first-generation college student? According to Ward, Siegel, and Davenport (2012), first-generation college student label was first conceived in 1960s to determine student eligibility for federally funded programs to assist from disadvantaged backgrounds. These programs defined a first-generation student as one whose parents had not obtained a postsecondary degree (Ward et ah, 2012). Although some modern scholars still use that definition (Housel 8C Harvey, 2009), others have suggested first-generation student is one whose parents have not attended a postsecondary institution (Ward et al., 2012). Whether he or she attended college or is a college graduate, in role of parent, one would mentor child, provide advice concerning cultural and academic experiences related to college, and provide guidance through necessities such application process or time management. Students with college-educated parents are at an advantage when it comes to enrolling in and completing college. This assumption is based on an idea known as social capital (Saenz, Hurtado, Barrera, Wolf, 8C Yeung, 2007). Social capital is the value of a relationship that provides support and assistance in a given social situation (Moschetti 8C Hudley, 2008, p. 26).AccessAccess can be defined as conditions and factors that facilitate and encourage or prohibit and discourage a person from attending college. Although most Americans dream of attending college, access to a college education is limited for various reasons (Bragg et ah, 2006). Those reasons might include college costs, discrimination, and precollege academic preparation (Bragg et ah, 2006). Heller (2001) divided access into five categories: financial accessibility; geographic accessibility; programmatic accessibility; academic accessibility; and cultural/social/physical accessibility.Financial accessibility. Financial access relates to availability of financial resources needed for an individual to attend college (Heller, 2001). The majority of first-generation are low-income (Tucker, 2014). Bradley (2011) noted that, While tuition at four-year colleges is increasing at a dizzying pace, community colleges offer an affordable alternative for millions of students (p. …" @default.
