| Abstract: | The following concept essay focuses on how the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas case helped to improve the pathways for Latina/o students in the United States to the higher education sector. The paper lends itself to focusing on higher education doctoral program access for Latina/o students who have historically faced lower enrollment and graduation rates compared to their white counterparts, which can be attributed to various factors, including but not limited to socioeconomic challenges, lack of mentorship, and systemic barriers within higher education. However, there were and continue to be unintended consequences that Latina/o students, parents, and teachers faced and continue to face in the overall struggle to end school segregation. This essay briefly discusses the historical Brown v. Board case, providing a lens through which we can explore higher educational challenges. Further, to promote equity in contemporary schools and re-conceptualize access to higher education for Latina/o students, the Higher Education Latina/o Pathways (HELP) framework provides guidance on providing a bridge for Latina/o graduates to doctoral programs.
