Abstract

Education matters. Yet disparities among racial and ethnic groups’ matriculation into post-secondary education has plagued both young people and admissions personnel. Over the years, scholars have spent considerable effort documenting the educational achievement gap between whites, Latinos, and African Americans. Little effort is dedicated to identifying “what works” in improving application and enrollment rates for Latinos and African Americans specifically. This paper offers a review of post-secondary enrollment activity for minority students and presents a multicultural mentoring program that shows promise in closing the achievement gap by matching current college students with minority high school students at risk of not attending college.
