Black, First-Generation, and Pell Grant recipient college students have faced tremendous obstacles and overcame substantial hurdles as a worldwide health pandemic, the novel coronavirus or COVID-19, disproportionately harmed the students, their family members, and communities. With over 1,000,000 deaths in the United States at the time of publication as well as immense racial tensions after the murders of and subsequent legal proceedings for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, these students found themselves amid a dual pandemic. Marginalized peoples and their supporters took to the streets to demand policing and criminal justice reform while many states and jurisdictions had shelter-in-place and social distancing protocols. In this study, to better understand the lived experiences of Black, First-Gen, Pell Grant recipient college students, I interviewed four college students who were enrolled in the Spring 2020 term and afterwards. These students shared their accounts of living through the dual pandemics that help provide insights into how higher education institutions can better support marginalized student populations. Based on the student interviews, I offer recommendations for higher education institutions to support similarly situated students, self-care, and college administrators.
