First-Generation Women Students' Perceptions of Support While Enrolled in Higher Education Institutions: A Phenomenological Study
Messmer, Erin; Channing, Jill
Education Leadership Review of Doctoral Research, v10 p89-107 Fall 2022
This phenomenological study explored the perceptions of support first-generation women students enrolled in college have. Eleven first-generation women students who were enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs across the United States completed one-on-one interviews. The participants explained the support they felt from family, friends, and members of their institutions, as well as areas where further support could be given. Key themes emerged, such as the role of mentorship, the need for financial assistance, the role of family, the roles of intersectional factors such as race and motherhood, and the offering of support during a crisis, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic.
