"The University of Arizona is excited to have been selected for the awarding of the Excelencia in Education Growing What Works Walmart SEMILLAS Grant. As an institution, the UA community has been tirelessly committed to serving ethnic minority, first-generation and low-income college-bound students, as well as continuing toward our goal to officially become a Hispanic-serving institution. The Office of Early Academic Outreach and the expansion of the College Academy for Parents model will ensure that local students and their families have the college knowledge and financial aid information necessary to increase the numbers of low-income, minority, and first-generation college-bound students who aspire to attend and are eligible to enter a university degree program.

The number of institutions officially recognized by the federal government as "Hispanic serving" is set to rise dramatically in the coming years, according to a comprehensive study of Latino enrollment in higher education.
"Emerging" HSIs were located in 20 states. The highest concentration of these institutions was in California, which had 52, followed by Texas, which had 42. Still, Deborah Santiago, the report's author and vice president for policy and research at Excelencia, said at a discussion accompanying the report's release on Capitol Hill that these institutions are "not just in those places where we expect to see Latinos." For instance, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Oregon and Utah are among the states that had one such institution.
