During the past thirty years, retention and how it applies to first-generation college students has been thoroughly studied. However, although there is abundant research regarding this cohort and the barriers intrinsic to degree attainment, investigation of the success for an ever-growing sub-group in this cohort, (first-generation females), is limited. The classic first-generation college student retention researchers have investigated first-generation college students' experiences and have discovered the distinct disadvantages these students encounter regarding the college matriculation process. Some of these disadvantages include, but are not limited to, socio-economic status, lack of familial support, time constraints, family responsibilities, lack of financial support, lack of access to educational information, and lack of self-efficacy. Other researchers have conducted studies specific to African-American and socio-economically deprived groups within this first-generation student category; however, there are very few studies that are specific to one of the most rapidly growing sub-groups, the first-generation, female college student. Although this group is becoming the largest representative group of first-generation students in the two-year or community college setting, it is underserved because the studies that have been completed provide a "one size fits all" solution to the problems encountered by all first generation students. Since women are enrolling in college at a more rapid rate than ever, it is incumbent upon educators to create an arena for success rather than failure for this population.
