Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are colleges and universities in the United States that have a high enrollment of Hispanic students, typically 25% or more of their total student population. These institutions are designated as such by the federal government and receive funding to support programs and services that benefit Hispanic students. HSIs play a crucial role in supporting the educational attainment and success of Hispanic students, who are a rapidly growing demographic in the U.S. Higher education system. Research in this area often focuses on understanding the unique needs and experiences of Hispanic students, developing strategies to support their academic and personal success, and exploring the impact of HSIs on Hispanic student outcomes. Such research is important for informing policies and practices that promote equity and access in higher education.
