Abstract: 
Presently the research discourse about educational-successful young women with migration background delivers no empirically secured results. This is due to the fact on the one hand that studies devote themselves up to now only now and then to the educational potential of migrants. On the other hand few sex-specific analyses which distinguish between male and female educational success are found. Nevertheless, the international Gender and Race research and increasingly also German-speaking studies point out to the fact that just young women with migration background dispose of a very distinctive motivation and competence to achieve her educational aims. Hence, the question after the reasons for the educational success of the young women with migration background who are confronted in the German education system with culturally conditioned barriers specific for origin wins in relevance. The following contribution introduces the first results from an explorative invested, qualitative part study about the educational success of female students with migration background. As an investigation object the draught of the educational disposition is constructed in support of Bourdieus disposition concept. It appears that the educational disposition of young women with migration background moves between traditional orientation and emancipation.
