HSI - Hispanic Serving Institution

What is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)?

Chabot College has been proudly designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) since 2008, by the United States Department of Education.
The benefits we've received as a HSI includes:

• The 2016 Title V grant.
• The 2021-2026 Title III STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) grant.

Benefits of Grants

We have been awarded over $7 million in grant funding which have allowed us to:

• Expand capacity in serving our low-income, Latinx/e population and to strengthen academic programming and management by adding funding to new and existing areas that support students’ academic success.
• Create or improve systems and spaces where students feel welcome, supported, and can succeed.
• Some of the resources that were funded by these grants are:
  • El Centro
  • Summer Bridge
  • First Year Experience
  • HSI STEM
• Activities funded by these grants are:
  • Raza College Day
  • STEM Day
  • Guest Speaker Series
  • Summer Bridge STEM
  • Carnitas & Citations Workshop
  • 4-year university tours with emphasis on STEM
  • Work-based experiences
  • Summer Research Internships

We want to ensure that all students are meeting their academic goals and outcomes, whether earning a certificate, graduating, or transferring, while learning more about themselves. We hope when students understand we are in HSI, they feel a sense of belonging.
