| Abstract | Latino students are entering college at record numbers. Today, almost 3.8 million Latinos are enrolled in colleges and universities across the United States. Yet Latino students lag behind their White and Asian peers in attaining college degrees. The overall completion gap exceeds ten percentage points. What is causing this completion gap? Although scholars and advocates have pointed to a number of different barriers, including lagging K-12 schools, lack of adequate preschool education, family obligations, and institutional lack of cultural competency, one common narrative centers on Latino debt aversion. Through a multi-year, mixed-method research study, the Latino debt aversion narrative was tested and interrogated in regard to how it drives and affects college completion. Rather than focus on prospective students, students were targeted who had begun, but never completed, college. The report delves deeply into two findings from the study: (1) debt aversion; and (2) transportation. The report draws on national statistics, quantitative data drawn from a sample of more than 1500 survey participants, qualitative data drawn from 24 in-depth interviews with Latino former students, and qualitative data drawn from seven in-depth interviews with program experts working with Latino communities in and around college access and completion.
