- 요약College Access Nonprofits (CANs) have had some success in supporting students- often from multiply and systematically marginalized groups- in overcoming college-going barriers and enrolling in college. Yet, these organizations vary in their success in achieving these goals. Therefore, in this dissertation I ask: When are CANs successful in reducing inequalities in college-going? and What limits CANs' success in this regard? Drawing on over a year of ethnographic observations and in-depth interviews with students and staff affiliated with a CAN site in Los Angeles, California, I find that CANs are likely to be most successful when they help students from systematically marginalized groups not only to overcome financial and knowledge barriers to college-going (the focus of much of the previous research on CANs) but also emotional barriers to college-going. Even when students from systematically marginalized groups aspire to attend college, they begin the process with negative emotions that must be overcome to achieve their goals. CANs assist in this process, in part, by providing structured opportunities for students to imagine themselves as happy successful college students and to develop emotional attachments to these imagined futures (Chapter 1). CANs also help students to expand their college choice sets beyond schools that would allow them to stay in their geographic comfort zone, often leading them to attend more selective schools than they might otherwise consider (Chapter 2). These successes, however, are not automatic. Rather, supporting students from systematically marginalized groups is a resource-intensive process. CANs' success is thereby shaped by their economic and emotional resources, with periods of economic precarity limiting the material resources and staff attentional resources available, and thus making it more difficult for CANs to help students overcome emotional barriers and expand their choice sets (Chapter 3). I discuss the implications of these findings for research on CANs and for efforts to address college-related inequalities in the domains of policy and practice.
