Collection of the information is necessary in order for the Secretary of Education to carry out the Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program under Title V, Part A, Section 501 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 20 U.S.C. 1101-1101d; 1103-1103g. The information will be used in the evaluation process to determine whether proposed activities are consistent with legislated activities and to determine the dollar share of the Congressional appropriation to be awarded to successful applicants. The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program provides grants to: (1) expand educational opportunities for, and improve the academic attainment of, Hispanic students; and (2) expand and enhance academic offerings, program quality, faculty quality, and institutional stability of colleges and universities that are educating the majority of Hispanic college students and help large numbers of Hispanic and low-income students complete postsecondary degrees.
The annual number of responses and total annual burden hours have increased due to an anticipated increase in the estimated number of applicants.
