Helping High-Achieving, Low-Income, Black Students Gain Admission into America's Elite Colleges: Considerations for School Counselors
Joseph M. Williams; Blaire Cholewa
Gifted Child Quarterly, v68 n2 p107-118 2024
The recent decision by the United States Supreme Court to limit affirmative action in college admissions could make it even more challenging for academically talented students of color to gain access to competitive schools. The importance of school counselors in guiding and supporting these students is now more crucial than ever. This qualitative study aimed to determine what school counselors need to know, do, and believe to help academically talented, Black students from low-income households gain admission into highly selective colleges and universities. Three broad themes and 10 subthemes emerged from the data analysis. The themes were (a) knowledge and awareness, (b) mindsets and beliefs, and (c) habits and practices. Implications for school counselor practice, training, and research are discussed.
