WEBINAR:
Rebuilding Momentum: Addressing Drops in Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Latino Student Enrollment

For the first time in 20 years, the numbers of HSIs has decreased. This decrease is due, in part, to declines in Latino student enrollment, institutional closings, and consolidation during the pandemic. This webinar will facilitate a discussion on the latest analysis on Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Latino students, and what institutions are doing to more intentionally serve Latino students in this current environment.

 


For 19 years, Excelencia in Education has conducted and released its annual analysis that provides insight on Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Emerging HSIs (eHSIs), and HSIs with Graduate Programs (gHSIs).

COVID-19 and Federal Funds for Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)

HSIs and CARES Funding

Read about Excelencia in Education's ongoing analysis on how Latino students and the institutions they attend are funded by the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act. Excelencia's analysis found the formula used to allocate funds reinforces funding inequities for Hispanic students and the institutions that enroll them. See a breakdown of the funding appropriated to Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) in the CARES Act.

Where do Latinos go to college?

Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI)

The institutions serving students with the highest need are also some of the most under-resourced. We must acknowledge and support these institutions—community colleges, open access, and public institutions. Latinos are heavily concentrated at these institutions and ensuring Latino student success requires financial resources for wraparound services or increased financial aid. Policy should focus on increasing institutional capacity to improve access and completion of Latino students in higher education.
