Summary

The Secretary may award grants to help Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs) work with other eligible HSIs or with schools that do not get HSI funds. The grants must pay for the activities listed in sections 1101b and 1102b so schools can share resources, avoid duplicate efforts, and strengthen HSIs. The Secretary must give priority to grant applications when the partnership makes sense for location and cost or clearly helps the applying HSI. Grants may run for the time period set under section 1101d.
