Hispanic Serving Institutions

Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are colleges and universities in the United States that enroll at least 25% Hispanic or Latino students. These institutions focus on providing higher education opportunities to Hispanic communities, often offering programs designed to support their success. HSIs receive federal funding to enhance resources, improve academic services, and promote research relevant to Hispanic students. Their goal is to increase college access and graduation rates among Hispanic populations, fostering diversity and addressing educational disparities.
