Purpose of Program: The purpose of the grant is to: (1) increase the number of Hispanic and other low-income students attaining degrees in the fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics; and (2) to develop model transfer and articulation agreements between two-year and four-year institutions in such fields. Funds may be used for: * Improving academic quality of STEM programs through curriculum revision and development, or faculty development; * Developing research opportunities for students in STEM fields; * Providing or improving student services including counseling, tutoring, mentoring or establishing learning communities; * Encouraging secondary students to pursue STEM degrees and careers through outreach activities; and * Improving STEM facilities and equipment needed for science instruction and computer laboratories. Eligibility Institutions that meet the definition of a Hispanic-Serving Institution may be eligible to apply for funding. For 2016 the U.S Department of Education and the HSI Division have reviewed IPEDS data to identify Institutions that meet the HSI definition. A list of institutions meeting the HSI definition for 2016 will be posted on the program's website.
