Grants to USA Hispanic-serving institutions of higher education to improve the academic success of and expand educational opportunities for Hispanic students. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. Funding is intended to enable HSIs to expand and enhance the academic offerings, program quality, faculty quality, and institutional stability of colleges and universities that are educating the majority of Hispanic college students and help large numbers of Hispanic students and low-income individuals complete postsecondary degrees.
HSIs interested in applying to this grant program can use the development of their comprehensive plan to examine the alignment of their mission and current strategic plan with the needs of the target population and surrounding community to develop, enhance, and implement leadership, practice, and policies that best promote student success. Moreover, HSIs can use their plans as road maps to help all students, especially those with the highest needs, find exciting pathways to employment and career advancement.
To this end, this competition includes two competitive preference priorities that are designed to promote student success.
Competitive Preference Priority 1 (Up to 10 Additional Points): Projects that are designed to expand the number of Hispanic and other underrepresented graduate and professional students that can be served by the institution by expanding courses and institutional resources.
Competitive Preference Priority 2 (Up to 10 Additional Points): Projects that support instruction in personal financial literacy, knowledge of markets and economics, knowledge of higher education financing and repayment (e.g., college savings and student loans), or other skills aimed at building personal financial understanding and responsibility.
