Abstract

This qualitative study aims to address the gap in the literature by exploring how Latinx caretakers of first-generation undergraduate students navigate the pre-college application process. Specifically, the study explores how caretakers experience the pre-college application process, contribute to their student’s educational resilience, and engage in college-related efforts.
