Minority-Serving机构

UNLV prides itself on being an institution of opportunity where students traditionally underrepresented in higher education can receive the support they need to achieve their educational and professional goals. As a Minority-Serving机构 (MSI) and 拉美裔-Serving Institution (HSI), UNLV enrolls a high percentage of minority students and is committed to reducing barriers to their 学术 success.

什么是MSI、HSI和AANAPISI?

Minority-Serving机构s (MSIs) and 拉美裔-Serving Institutions (HSI) are U.S. colleges and universities that enroll a high percentage of minority students. Because minority populations have experienced disproportionate barriers to higher education, the federal government provides financial support through various titles of the Higher Education Act.

MSI institutions under the Title III eligibility designation include 亚洲 American and Native American 太平洋岛民服务机构 (AANAPISI), 部落学院和传统黑人学院和大学(HBCU).
