The goal of the study was to assess positive factors that contribtue to african american students' intentions to stay in school. Two hundred and thirty one african american students participated in this study. Using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) as a conceptual model, survey measured student attitudes toward school year completion, social support for completing the academic year and their perceptions of personal control over school completion. The contributions of self esteem and racial self - esteem were also examined for their influence on academic strivings. The TPB was a better predictor of intentions to complete the school year than student grade point averages (GPAs). Self esteem added only slightly to the variance explained in predicting intentions to complete the school year, but neither self - esteem nor racial self - esteem was a significant predictor of GPAs.
