The ERIC Education Resources EBSCO database is a good fit for your topic. (The Oakton subscription requires a current Oakton username and password.) It has full-text articles from several hundred education journals. I've prepared a sample search to help you get started.
1st line: family influence or family involvement or parent influence or family role (in SU descriptors)
2nd line: dropout* (in SU descriptors, be sure to use the asterisk * symbol as shown)
3rd line: college* or universit* (in SU descriptors, be sure to use the asterisk * symbol as shown)
NOTE: Why does this search use asterisk * symbols? Truncation in EBSCO databases (and many others) is represented by an asterisk *. This allows you to enter the root of a search term and find various endings. For example:
universit*
should retrieve university, university's, universities, and universities'.
