PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28913 Full Text of Announcement I. Funding Opportunity Description Purpose of Program: The Promoting Postbaccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA) Program provides grants to: (1) Expand postbaccalaureate educational opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of, Hispanic students; and (2) expand the postbaccalaureate academic offerings as well as enhance the program quality in the institutions of higher education that are educating the majority of Hispanic college students and helping large numbers of Hispanic and low-income students complete postsecondary degrees. PPOHA Program Requirements Background: The PPOHA Program is a new program established under sections 511 through 514 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The PPOHA Program supports Hispanic-serving institutions that offer a postbaccalaureate certificate or degree granting program. To define the term ‘‘Hispanic-serving institution’’ for purposes of the PPOHA Program, Congress adopted the definition of that term in the existing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program authorized by sections 501 to 504 of the HEA. In addition, the PPOHA Program provides development grants like the HSI Program. Moreover, Congress also applied the general provisions of the HSI Program to the PPOHA Program. See Title V, Part C, sections 521–528, of the HEA. In light of the overlap of these definitions and requirements, the Secretary has determined that it is appropriate to adopt some of the requlatory requirements relating to eligibility criteria and tie-breaking factors from the HSI Program for use for the first grant competition in the PPOHA Program. Eligibility Criteria (Use of 34 CFR 606.2(a) and (b), 606.3 through 606.5). For purposes of the PPOHA Program, an eligible institution is an institution of higher education that: (1) Is an Hispanic-serving institution as defined in section 502 of the HEA; and (2) offers a postbaccalaureate certificate or degree granting program. As noted earlier in this notice, the term ‘‘Hispanic-serving institution’’ under section 502 of the HEA has already been defined in the regulations for the HSI Program. For the competition announced in this notice, the Secretary has decided to use the specific eligibility criteria for Hispanicserving institution in 34 CFR 606.2(a) and (b) and 606.3, 606.4 and 606.5 of those regulations.
