Abstract: Hispanic bachelor's degree attainment has risen by 6.4% since 2012, yet only 5.5% of U.S. graduate students are Hispanic. This ethnographic study explores graduate aspirations among low-income Hispanic former dual-enrollment students in South Texas. Using Yosso's (2005) Cultural Wealth Model, it examines six forms of cultural capital shaping their trajectories. Findings highlight dual enrollment as a key pathway but reveal mentorship gaps. Participants challenge traditional success, valuing resilience and financial stability. This study underscores the need for culturally responsive mentorship and institutional support, offering asset-based strategies to enhance Hispanic students' social mobility and academic success.
