Abstract | This article examines the role of social capital in college access for low-income students. Research suggests that low social capital is a barrier for achieving higher education. Furthermore, research shows that increasing social capital provides students with relevant information, strong networks, and realistic goal-setting necessary for college access. Evidence supports both strong and weak networks, specifically family, peer, and school relationships. A comparison of the individual networks reveals that isolated relationships are inadequate for increasing college access. The policy recommendation is for an integration of all three networks to provide a comprehensive framework for substantially increasing low-income students' access to higher education. (As Provided). |
