Abstract: This qualitative study employs thematic analysis of open-ended survey data to examine how 187 low-income college students in a need- based scholarship and support program perceive contributors to their success and barriers they face. Using an abductive approach that integrates inductive coding with theoretical alignment, we identified key themes, including the critical role of financial aid, the importance of community, persistent stressors, and students' desire for additional support. Findings underscore the value of partnering with students as co-researchers to qualitatively assess their experiences and outcomes. Building on these insights, we reflect on the importance of incorporating student voices into strategic planning for support programs that serve low-income students.
