| Abstract | The educational experiences of Hispanic male college students have become an emerging issue in higher education among minority scholars. The problem addressed by this study is despite more Hispanic males attending colleges and universities, they do not acquire a credential compared to their female counterparts and other ethnic/racial groups. Yosso's community cultural wealth framework guided the research, which utilized phenomenology through 10 semi-structured personal interviews that captured the lived experiences of Hispanic male students. The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experiences of Hispanic college male students at a South Texas border institution and examine if and how aspirational, resistant, familial, and navigational capital contributed to their academic success. Six themes (Family fuels hope, dreams, and purpose, parental support, and past struggles build resilience, an ideal of persistence and hard work is instilled, family is extended and not defined by blood, family defines the culture, family network and experience help students navigate the system) were revealed from participant interviews. In alignment with Yosso's community cultural wealth's non-traditional forms of capital, the findings revealed how the family unit, which extended beyond the traditional definition of family, provided inspiration, motivation, resiliency, and knowledge to Hispanic male students. This study concluded that family and culture provide value for Hispanic college male students and are a resource that contributes to their academic success. Recommendations for practice include institutions evaluating how they can leverage the forms of capital Hispanic families provide to Hispanic college male students to develop policies, programs, and best practices. Recommendations for future research should focus on integrating families in the educational processes and building programs that include cultural aspects that students may identify with.
