The underrepresentation of Latino/a students in postsecondary education has received considerable attention in the research literature as well as national policy forums. Improving access to higher education for Latinos/as is predicated on increasing the pool of Latino/a high school graduates that are prepared to meet the rigors of college. This report draws from data collected as part of a 3-year ethnographic study that followed two groups of Latino/a students through their final years of high school, the college application process, and for some, the inception of their postsecondary studies. Using Latino/a critical theory as an analytical framework, this report provides insights into the distinct pathways--or caminos--taken by students in their pursuit of college, highlighting the support structures that Latino/a youth identify as necessary for increasing Latino/a participation in higher education [This Scholarly Paper was commissioned for the 6th Annual Conference of the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education, 2011.]
