Title V Grants

Title V is a program administered by the United States Department of Education. The purpose of Title V, known as the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program, is to expand educational opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of Hispanic students. Hispanic-Serving Institutions are defined as institutions that have at least 25 percent of its full-time enrollment (FTE) students identified as Hispanic. Title V assists institutions that help large numbers of Hispanic students and other low-income individuals complete postsecondary degrees by expanding and enhancing their academic offerings, program quality, and institutional stability.
