High school dropout ratefor Hispanics is decliningPew Research CenterHispanic collegeenrollment percentage isgradually increasing
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs): enroll 24.5% of all students and 63.0% of all Hispanic students. received 68 cents per dollar for colleges and m all federalHSIsfunding sources (2015).
2 YEAR COLLEGES COMPRISE HALF OFHSI INSTITUTIONS
To enhance the quality of undergraduate STEMeducation at Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), theNational Science Foundation (NSF) established theLegislationImprovingUndergraduateSTEMEducation: ConsolidatedHispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI Program), inAppropriationsresponse toAct,the Consolidated Appropriations Act,2017(P.L.(P.L.115-31)2017115-31) and the American Innovation andCompetitiveness S.3084- American Act (P.L. 114-329).Innovation The HSI andProgram seeks to increase the retention andCompetitivenessgraduation rates of students pursuing associate orActbaccalaureate(P.L. 114-329) degrees in science, technology,Decengineering,16, 2016 and mathematics (STEM).

NSF Resource HubCharge The Resource Hub willsupport the needs of HSIswith little or no prior NSFfunding, such as assistancewith proposal writing andfinancial compliance. In addition, the Resource Hubwill facilitate networking andprofessional developmentthat build and strengthencollaborations among HSIs.hsistemhub.orgOur ResponseVision:grow the STEM thinkforce byadvancing the efforts of HispanicServing Institutions to eliminatebarriers to STEM student success .Mission:provide Hispanic Serving apacitythatwillincrease STEM student retention anddegree completion.Goals:implement and promote rtunitiesthatfostercollaborationsandpartnerships to increase HSI grantsuccess, especially for 2-yr and 4-yrHSI colleges.NSF awards1832338 &1832345
