Abstract:

Striving to Be First: Understanding Summer Melt
College acceptance does not always result in college enrollment for students from marginalized backgrounds. They may come from low SES backgrounds and be first-generation college students. These students have a higher probability of experiencing summer melt (Castleman & Page, 2014). Summer melt occurs when college-intending students meet all the criteria set forth by their college of choice, gain acceptance into college, yet fail to enroll in the fall following their high school graduation (Rall, 2016).
