The ASU Hispanic Mother Daughter Program works to raise educational and career aspirations of
Hispanic women.
With the assistance of school administrators, HMDP recruits and selects 100 teams of seventh-grade
Latina students and their mothers in the community from schools with pre-established partnerships
with the university. Counselors and teachers encourage their seventh grade students who meet the
selection criteria to apply to the program. Students and mothers selected for the program attend
workshops and events throughout the students’ eighth grade and high school years. Students in the
program also receive one-on-one visits from HMDP advisors at their high schools.
As one Access ASU effort, the Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program increases the number of first-generation
Hispanic women who complete a bachelor’s degree by directly involving mothers in the educational process
of their daughters.
