1. Office of Research & Sponsored Programs (ORSP) Office of Institutional Research HSI STATUS Matthew Benney – Academic Support Sean Johnson – Institutional Research

2. FRAMEWORK OF OBTAINING HSI STATUS
ELIGIBILITY vs. HSI GRANTS
ELIGIBILITY FOR TITLE III & V PROGRAMS
(Phase One)
APPLYING FOR HSI GRANTS
(Phase Two)

3. TITLE III & V ELIGIBILITY (Phase One)
Must have 50% of undergraduates receiving federal financial aid. Must be one of the following (no exceptions):
Pell Grant
Work Study
SEOG
Perkins Loan

4. TITLE III & V ELIGIBILITY (Phase One)
Additionally:
Count must be “unduplicated”
%’s are from IPEDS (Automatic-no application)
(Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System)
%’s are always two years back
(e.g., eligibility in Fall 16 based on %’s from Fall 14)

5. HSI GRANT WRITING (Phase Two)
“HSI status” is a misnomer
In actuality, HSI status is a campus with an HSI grant
Requires 25% Hispanic/Latino enrollment

6. THE REAL CHALLENGE We must meet Phase One requirement first
50% on federal financial aid
Title III & V eligibility
For Fall 16 eligibility we need 50%, but looking two years back as required, we have 35%
The trend-line on federal financial aid participation is not promising

8. RECOMMENDATION
ENGAGE IN STRATEGIC ACTIVITIES AND COORDINATED DECISION- MAKING TO SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ON FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID
