Using a critical race theory lens, we examined the racialized experiences of 29 Students of Color in HESA programs across the United States. Students' experiences illuminate 4 themes: educating white peers, invalidation of experiences and identity, racial stereotypes, and isolation. Participants' experiences illustrate a disconnect between HESA programs' espoused commitment to social justice and inclusion and the enactment of this commitment. Implications and recommendations for HESA program administrators, faculty, and assistantship supervisors are provided.
