Abstract	A mixed-method study is used to measure the effectiveness of specialized classroom guidance lessons designed for teen mothers to increase knowledge of higher education while also encouraging the empowerment of teen mothers to pursue higher education. Empowerment here is defined as the process of gaining control of one's circumstances in life. Classroom guidance lessons were designed to provide information not offered in the past to assist students in making decisions regarding higher education. Pre and post-assessments will showcase whether or not students increased their knowledge of higher education. Themes that arose from the interviews will provide a better understanding of the relationship between empowerment and the pursuit of higher education. Data collected by the study will indicate possible effective interventions to offer programs for teenage mothers interested in pursuing higher education. (As Provided).
