| I was inspired to go to college by my family and/or friend. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I was inspired to go to college by a high school counselor or mentor. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I plan to or already have pursued a graduate, law and/or medical degree, etc. upon completing my undergraduate degree. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I was a first generation college student. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I had a mentor during my undergraduate studies, which motivated me to continue my matriculation through college. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I was involved in student leadership and/or athletics, which aided in my success throughout my undergraduate studies. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| High school offered a rigorous college preparatory curriculum that prepared me for college. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| High school counselors helped me research and apply for colleges that matched my academic, social and financial needs. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The college I attended helped me further develop critical social, emotional and/or non-cognitive skills that complemented my academics. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I had a strong support system during my college experience which helped me. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I received recognition for my academics from faculty and/or administration. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| A strong faith based foundation played a vital role in my matriculation. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I viewed college as an investment in my future. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| College was considered to be the "way out" option within the neighborhood I grew up in. It was the survival plan. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The potential employment possibilities that would be available after attaining my degree was a motivating factor in attending college. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| As a man, my odds of a higher social status and ability to provide increases with a college degree. |
| |

|
|
| |
| The economic state of the black community hinders African American males from attending college. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I believe that the lack of visible students that look like "us" prevented other African American males from attending four year universities. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| There is a social and/or educational division between African American males and their White counterparts. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The lack of understanding African American history hinders African Americans males from attempting to pursue a degree. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| There are perpetual stigmatisms between African American males and other racial-ethnic groups that prevent this subgroup from attending college. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The competitive nature of African American males has an impact on whether or not one decides to pursue an education. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| My parents and/or guardian emphasized that college was not an option but a requirement. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The urbanization and glamorization of African American males never depict an educational role model for males to admire. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| The media uses their public platforms to perpetuate and instigate negative stereotypical depictions of African American males. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| I serve as a mentor to other African American males to aid in their college matriculation. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| My educational experiences were shaped by teacher quality. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Lack of qualified teachers in poor, ethnic minority schools attribute to African American males inability to access education. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Minority college students are more likely to encounter problems completing their degree due to a large scale of unmet financial aid. |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Collaborative efforts including academic help, financial aid information, counseling, standardized test preparation, one on one mentors, and weekend and summer courses help African American males increase college enrollment rates. |
