Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are institutions that currently do not meet the federal threshold of 25 percent Latino enrollment to be classified as HSIs, but have Latino enrollments ranging between 15-24 percent. These institutions have the potential to be eligible for the designation as a HSI in the coming years.

What Others Say
"It has become evident that regardless of what institutions have been doing, Latino students are the ones responsible for creating Hispanic-Serving Institutions. By basing enrollment decisions on costs and location, Latino students are sending a clear message on what they value in a college. As the population continues to grow, it would be wise for higher education institutions to take note."
