The purpose of this study was to document and analyze the experiences and perceptions of students who are from a background of generational poverty and who have successfully completed a bachelor's degree. There are very limited numbers of students from the lowest economic class graduating from our nation's institutions of higher education. The challenge to institutions of higher education is how to improve access, support, and successful completion of higher education for students experiencing the most extreme poverty barriers.

520 $a The purpose of this study was to document and analyze the experiences and perceptions of students who are from a background of generational poverty and who have successfully completed a bachelor's degree. There are very limited numbers of students from the lowest economic class graduating from our nation's institutions of higher education. The challenge to institutions of higher education is how to improve access, support, and successful completion of higher education for students experiencing the most extreme poverty barriers.
520 $a Weber's (1946) social-class theory was selected to analyze the data and interpretations by the graduates about their success and perceived barriers to success in completing college. This theoretical construct is based on the idea that collectively held meanings arise from three distinct, although related, dimensions of life: lifestyles, context, and economic opportunity.
520 $a The grounded theory approach guided the data collection and analysis process (Glaser & Strauss, 1967; Strauss & Corbin, 1990). A questionnaire was administered to fifty-six respondents who volunteered to participate in the study when contacted by their graduating institution. The questionnaire was complemented by focus group interviews based on themes identified in the questionnaires (Merton, Fiske, & Kendall, 1990).
520 $a The study results provided: (a) demographic profiles of the individuals, (b) descriptions of the poverty-related conditions which the individuals experienced before and during college, (c) an overview of the early educational experiences of the participants, (d) an overview of perceived challenges and barriers to higher education and (e) a discussion of success factors. All races and ethnic groups were represented in the sample in a comparable distribution to the state population. There were more women than men in the sample.
520 $a The findings from this study suggest five areas for educational improvement: (a) development of a campus climate more sensitive to social class and poverty issues; (b) sensitivity training programs for faculty, staff, students and administration; (c) facilitation of connections to informal mentors; (d) improved articulation of connections between obtaining a college degree and earning a higher income; and an (e) exploration of expanding college partnerships with social service agencies that are geared to helping people in poverty. Curricular reforms are discussed and suggestions are made for future research.
