What is an HSI?

An institution of higher education is designated by the Department of Education as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) when it has an enrollment of undergraduate full-time equivalent students that is at least 25 percent “Hispanic.”

Being a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) is more than a federal designation at Ranger College. We are very proud to be one of the 600 HSI Institutions in the United States.

History

In 2022, Ranger College received the designation of Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). This designation enabled us to compete for federal funding that increases our capacity to strengthen our institution, to renovate facilities, and to provide student services to our students. This designation is renewed on a yearly basis.

Ranger College received its first Developing Hispanic Serving Institution grant on October 1st of 2022 and it is named Ranger REACH.
