Summary/Abstract: This article explores the educational needs and social support mechanisms for high school students transitioning to higher education in Romania, with a specific focus on rural and urban disparities. Using quantitative data from a sociological survey conducted among students from two high schools in Craiova, the study identifies critical factors influencing academic aspirations and barriers to higher education. The findings emphasize the importance of financial aid, educational counseling, and preparatory programs in mitigating educational inequalities. Policy recommendations are provided to address systemic challenges and promote equitable access to higher education.
