Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The DHSI
Program provides grants to assist
Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to
expand educational opportunities for,
and improve the academic attainment
of, Hispanic students. DHSI Program
grants also 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.
Background: Hispanic students are
enrolling in postsecondary institutions
at higher rates than ever before;
however, we continue to lose a
substantial number of Hispanic students
prior to degree completion.1
Additionally, while Hispanic students
have very high enrollments at 2-year
institutions, the transfer rate to 4-year
institutions, as well as the rate of
certificate and associate degree
completion, continues to be low.2 This
is unacceptable especially considering
the evidence showing how essential
postsecondary education, including
certification programs, is to full
participation in today’s competitive
workforce. Given the growth of the
Hispanic population, it is imperative
that we ensure educational success for
our youngest and fastest growing
population. As a nation, we cannot
afford to have such a large portion of
our population undereducated and
therefore underrepresented in
competitive careers in a global
economy. Progress toward higher rates
of Hispanics with postsecondary
degrees requires intentional and ongoing support throughout every level of
the educational pipeline.
To this end, in this competition, the
Department is inviting applicants to
focus on the various aspects of the
teacher preparation pipeline. Currently,
Hispanic teachers make up about 7.8
percent of the teacher workforce, yet
Hispanic students make up over 24
percent of the public school system’s
elementary and secondary student
