The Invisible 1%: A Comparison of Attaining Stepping Stones toward College between Military and Civilian Children
Cabrera, Alberto F.; Peralta, Alicia M.; Kurban, Elizabeth R.
Journal of Higher Education, v89 n2 p208-235 2018
This study examined the differences between U.S. civilian and military children in their attainment of milestones toward college during a period of burgeoning military deployment (2002-2004). In spite of this intensive deployment, the process of attainment of milestones toward college among military children from Grade 10 to Grade 12 was remarkably similar to that of civilian children.
