Abstract
(type = abstract)
The continuous growth of the Latino population poses significant challenges for the country as the level of education for Latinos is significantly lower than their white counterparts. An increase in Latino student retention rates in higher education can combat poverty among Latino communities and ultimately impact the country, provided a higher portion of the population is educated. Using a triangulation approach, the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) program is reviewed to test its effectiveness retaining first-generation Latino students in colleges. First-generation Latino student retention from 2007 to 2017 was evaluated at three universities in New Jersey using a descriptive analysis, including chi-squared tests and an analysis of variance among the three universities, a statistical analysis of original survey data, and a logistic regression model of both descriptive and survey results. This research found that first-generation Latinos in the EOF program were retained at higher rates than first-generation Latinos not in the EOF program. However, high school GPA is the highest pre-college predictor of retention among first-generation Latinos and, ultimately, the largest motivators for persistence in college were having family, mentorship, and a community/friends.
