## INTRODUCTION

The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) program was
introduced under Title V of the Higher Education Act, as amended, in
1998. This program was created to address the growing need for federal
assistance to eligible HSIs to expand their capacity to serve Hispanic
and low-income students. The goal of the HSI program is to expand
educational opportunities for and improve the academic attainment of
Hispanic students; and to expand and enhance the academic offerings,
program quality, and institutional stability of low-income students
attending Hispanic-Serving colleges to enable them to complete
postsecondary education.

Since FY 1999, the appropriation has increased dramatically from \$28
million to \$86 million in FY 2002. Of the amount awarded in FY 2002,
\$8,320,859 was awarded to 21 new Development grants and \$7,297,269 for
13 new Cooperative Arrangement grants for a total of \$15,618,128 for
new HSIs. Approximately \$70 million was reserved to support 157
continuation HSI awards. The HSI program has three types of grants:

Planning grant is a one-year grant award for the purpose of preparation
of plans and applications for a grant under the HSI program.

Development grant is a five-year grant award to assist HSIs in carrying
out its comprehensive development plan to strengthen the institution's
program to improve and expand its capacity to serve Hispanic students
and other low-income students.

Cooperative Arrangements is a five-year grant award to encourage
cooperative arrangements between an eligible HSI and other institutions
in a combined effort to serve Hispanic students and other low-income
students and to enhance the development of HSIs.

Funds for the HSI program may be used for activities such as the
renovation of instructional facilities, faculty development, the
purchase of scientific or laboratory equipment for educational purposes,
funds for administrative management, development and improvement of
academic programs, acquisition of equipment to strengthen funds
management and academic program, joint use of facilities, academic
tutoring, counseling programs, and support services.

The HSI program is the only discretionary grant program under the U. S.
Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education that
provides federal funds to strengthen institutions that serve Hispanic
students and other low-income students. More information about the HSI
program is available on the Department's web-site
[www.ed.gov/hsi](http://www.ed.gov/hsi).

NOTE: The data provided for the "Total Student FTE" and the "Total
Percent Hispanic FTE" is base on the ED Form 851S-7 submitted with the
