Emerging Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) are institutions that currently do not meet the federal threshold of 25 percent Latino enrollment to be classified as HSIs, but have Latino enrollments ranging between 15-24 percent. These institutions have the potential to be eligible for the designation as a HSI in the coming years.

What Others Say
"Since its inception, Excelencia has acknowledged the crucial role of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) and has challenged them to double our efforts to get better results. By providing HSIs with knowledge and research on enrollment and attainment rates, Excelencia has helped focus institutions on the important aspects of their mission, including attracting and graduating Latino students and better serving the community. We particularly appreciate Excelencia’s recognition and inclusion of higher education institutions in Puerto Rico and for following up on students who migrate to the mainland."
