Additional Information on Eligibility
Eligible Applicants: Institutions of higher education (IHEs) that qualify as eligible HSIs are eligible to apply for new Individual Development Grants and Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants under the HSI Program. To be an eligible HSI, an IHE must-- (1) Be accredited or preaccredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association that the Secretary has determined to be a reliable authority as to the quality of education or training offered; (2) Be legally authorized by the State in which it is located to be a junior college or to provide an educational program for which it awards a bachelor's degree; (3) Be designated as an ``eligible institution'' by demonstrating that it: (A) Has an enrollment of needy students as described in 34 CFR 606.3; and (B) has low average educational and general expenditures per full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduate student as described in 34 CFR 606.4; and (4) Have an enrollment of undergraduate FTE students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic students at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application. The HSI eligibility requirements are in 34 CFR 606.2 through 606.5 and can be accessed from the following Web site: http:// www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_01/34cfr606_01.html. These regulations do not reflect the changes made to the HSI Program requirements by the Third Higher Education Extension Act of 2006 or the HEOA. Section 502(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), requires institutions applying for an HSI grant to report their undergraduate Hispanic FTE percentage at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application. Funds for the HSI Program are awarded each fiscal year; thus, for this program, the end of the award year refers to the end of the fiscal year prior to the application due date. The end of the fiscal year occurs on September 30 for any given year. Therefore, for purposes of making the determination described in paragraph (4), IHEs must report their undergraduate Hispanic FTE percent based on the student enrollment count closest to, but not after, September 30, 2009. Note: The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) amended section 503(b) of the HEA to include, among the authorized activities under the HSI Program, activities to improve student services, including innovative and customized instruction courses designed to help retain students and move the students into core courses; articulation agreements and student support programs designed to facilitate the transfer of students from 2-year to 4-year institutions; and providing education, counseling services, and financial information designed to improve the financial and economic literacy of students or their families. The list of authorized activities in section 503(b) was also amended to use the term ``distance education technologies'' in place of ``distance learning academic instruction capabilities.'' Applicants may include these activities in their proposals. For this competition, the Notice Inviting Applications for Designation as Eligible Institutions for FY 2010 was published in the Federal Register on December 7, 2009 (74 FR 64059) and the deadline for application was January 6, 2010. Only institutions that submitted the required application and received designation through that process are eligible to submit an application for this competition.
