Hispanic-Serving Institutions Education Grants (HSI) Program

Overview

The HSI Education Grants Program promotes and strengthens the ability of HSIs to carry out education, applied research, and related community development programs. This program encourages innovative teaching, education, or related community development proposals with the potential to impact and become models for other institutions at the regional or national level.  

HSI projects aim to:  

• Attract and support the domestic pipeline of undergraduate and graduate students to prepare them for careers related to the food, agriculture, natural resources, and human sciences (FANH) in the United States. 
• Enhance the quality of postsecondary instruction within food and agricultural sciences disciplines. 
• Provide opportunities and access to FANH careers in the public, non-profit and private sectors. 
• Align the efforts of HSIs and other non-profit organizations to support academic development and career attainment of students.
