Abstract	Higher education is seen by society as an opportunity for doors to be opened for high school graduates in achieving their personal and professional goals. It has long been held that a college education is vital to creating engaged and productive citizens. A bachelor's degree has become necessary for forward mobility for oneself and future generations. Due to the rising costs of college and the reliance on federal and private loans, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are often priced out of college. More specifically, one largely affected population is first-generation African American college students. Rising costs, insufficient knowledge about financial-aid programs and a lack of guidance from families and caregivers has increased the gap between who will and who will not attend college. To create more opportunity for low-income, first-generation African American individuals, this researcher identified resources and support that existed for students who attended a four-year private college in New England. Using a case study analysis, the researcher developed recommendations of practice to provide more resources and support for low-income, first-generation African American students. These recommendations included stronger connected with high school guidance counselor, enhanced recruitment practices, and more transparent documents for incoming students.
