A Hispanic Serving Institution
As a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), we help lead efforts to increase educational access and success for the nation’s Hispanic population.
An HSI is an institution of higher education that has an enrollment of undergraduate full-time equivalent students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic students at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application.
