This article presents the results of a research project which examined the factors enabling educational upward mobility. The findings are based on 58 qualitative interviews with successful first-generation students who are scholarship holders from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation. From an in-depth analysis of the individual resources, three general requirements of upward mobility are derived. Based on these it is possible to distinguish three types of educational upward mobility. These types differ in the barriers they were confronted with, the resources available to them, the structure of their educational path and the way they experience upward mobility. A spectrum becomes apparent: at one end we find upward mobility due to a family which offers relevant resources, and at the other we see mobility despite a family which impedes higher educational attainment. The conclusion describes key aspects towards the development of a theory of educational upward mobility
