Full Text of Announcement

I. Funding Opportunity Description

Purpose of Program

    The HSI Program provides grants to assist HSIs to expand
educational opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of,
Hispanic students. The HSI Program grants also enable HSIs to expand
and enhance their academic offerings, program quality, and
institutional stability.

General Background

    In 2008, the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) was amended by the
Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEA). The HEOA made a number
of changes to the HSI program. The regulations for the HSI Program in
34 part 606 have not been updated since before the HEA was amended by
the HEOA. Therefore, we encourage applicants to carefully read this
notice, which references the statutory provisions when the
corresponding regulatory provisions for this program have not been
updated.
    For example, section 501 of the HEOA amended section 503(b) of the
HEA to include, among the authorized activities under the HSI Program--
    (1) Activities to improve student services, including innovative
and customized instruction courses designed to help retain students and
move the students into core courses;
    (2) Articulation agreements and student support programs designed
to facilitate the transfer of students from 2-year to 4-year
institutions; and
    (3) Providing education, counseling services, or financial
information designed to improve the financial and economic literacy of
students or their families.
    (4) The list of authorized activities in section 503(b) of the HEA
was also amended to use the term ``distance education technologies'' in
place of ``distance learning academic instruction capabilities.''
Therefore, notwithstanding the description of authorized activities in
Sec.  606.10, applicants may include these activities in their
proposals under this competition.
