This exploratory case study is designed to provide information regarding the trigenerational aspirations of Mexican-American women. The study specifically examines each mother's role in relation to her daughter's academic aspiration. Nine mother, daughter, and grandmother triads were interviewed and administered questionnaires. Variables examined include: (a) family characteristics, (b) career aspirations, (c) support of academic aspirations, (d) feelings of self-esteem, and (e) educational attainment and aspirations. Results indicate major factors associated with daughter's academic levels of aspiration are: mother's encouragement, importance of daughter's education to mother, and mother's aspiration of academic levelfor daughter.
