Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are colleges and universities in the United States that enroll a significant percentage of Hispanic students. To qualify as an HSI, an institution must have at least 25% of its full-time undergraduate enrollment identifying as Hispanic. These institutions aim to provide educational opportunities and support for Hispanic students, helping to improve their access to higher education.
HSIs play a crucial role in promoting diversity and inclusion in higher education. They often receive federal funding and resources to enhance programs and services tailored to the needs of Hispanic students. This support helps foster academic success and community engagement within the Hispanic population.
