Abstract
Undocumented Latinx college students in rural areas confront a myriad of stressors that challenge their resilience and which merit empirical emphasis. This study will examine the risk and protective factors, and their impact on academic outcomes, of undocumented first generation Latinx college students in Public Institutions in Rural Areas. The study will test two hypotheses. First, do protective factors, such as resilience, academic resilience, and college persistence, predict undocumented first generation Latinx college students’ academic outcomes (i.e., GPA, and academic awards) in nontraditional rural colleges and universities? Secondly, do risk variables, such as perceived stress, rejection due to undocumented status, and college employment, predict undocumented first generation Latinx college students’ academic outcomes (i.e., GPA, and college awards) in Public Institutions in Rural Areas?
