Latino/a college enrollment rates have increased over the years. However, graduation rates are not rising at the same rate as enrollment. One of the programs designed to help increase Latino/a college retention and graduation rates is the College Assistance Migrant Program. This program assists students with tutoring, counseling, stipends, health services, and housing. The purpose of this exploratory case study was to explore the College Assistance Migrant Program Latino college students' perceptions of internal and external validation factors to succeed in college. Then, apply those validation factors to succeed in college to the general student population at the studied educational institution. Rendon's (1994) validation theory and Yosso's (2005) community cultural wealth theory served as a framework to guide the study. The study posed three questions about validation factors to succeed in college. The study included nine College Assistance Migrant Program Latino students. Data were collected by a demographic survey, semi-structured interviews, and a focus group. The findings were consistent with the literature; for example, question one suggested faculty, mentors, and advisors as the primary internal validators to succeed in college. Question two proposed family, classmates, friends, and co-workers as the primary external validators to succeed in college. Question three suggested direct help from the College Assistance Migrant Program as the main validator to succeed in college. Based on the findings, some of the recommendations for practice are for faculty to provide positive, timely, and effective relationships to build rapport with students. The recommendations for counselors are to have flexible hours, realistic and practical service, provide words of encouragement, meet with students regularly, provide resources, and acknowledge accomplishments. Some of the recommendations for future research are to collect data from females, bigger samples, include other institutions, and collect data face-to-face.
