Hispanic high school students, when doing your college search, you may be interested in considering a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
What is an HSI?
Hispanic Serving Institutions are colleges where Hispanic students are at least 25% of the student body. A certified HSI receives additional grants to better support their attending Latine students.
This certification shows that a college is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
What are some benefits of attending a Hispanic Serving Institution?
- An HSI designation shows that this college supports increasing enrollment, retention, and graduation rates of first generation and minority students.
- It shows that the college is committed to creating a safe and inclusive campus culture to support students in pursuing their dreams.
- College staff are provided with more resources to develop programs that benefit students.
