Opportunity Summary:
The American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen colleges and universities that serve significant numbers of Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander students. Authorized under section 371 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended), the program aims to help eligible institutions improve overall academic quality, become more self-sufficient, and build the institutional capacity needed to contribute more strongly to the nation s higher education system. The notice also makes clear that the Department is not bound by any funding or award estimates listed in the announcement, meaning final amounts and award counts can change.
To qualify, an institution must meet the definition of an AANAPISI and satisfy several eligibility conditions at the time of application. A key threshold is student enrollment: the institution must have an undergraduate population that is at least 10 percent Asian American or Native American Pacific Islander. In addition, the institution must enroll needy students as defined in section 312(d) of the HEA, and it must demonstrate comparatively low educational and general expenditures per full-time equivalent undergraduate student when measured against similar institutions (with limited exceptions referenced in the HEA). The eligibility category in the posting is broadly listed as "Others," but the controlling requirement is that applicants must be eligible institutions of higher education that meet the AANAPISI criteria.
For this specific funding cycle, the opportunity was posted on April 1, 2011, with applications available the same day and a deadline to submit (transmit) applications by May 16, 2011. The archive date is June 15, 2011, which indicates when the opportunity was moved out of active status in the posting system. The Funding Opportunity Number is ED-GRANTS-040111-001, and the program is associated with CFDA 84.382B (commonly searched in Grants.gov as 84.382 without the letter suffix). The funding activity category is Education, and the program is part of the broader Strengthening Minority-Serving Institutions portfolio.
In terms of funding expectations, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $3,922,298 and anticipates roughly 13 awards. The stated award ceiling is $200,000, with an award floor of $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. As with many federal competitions, the estimated totals and number of awards are planning figures rather than guarantees, and final decisions depend on appropriations, application quality, and program priorities.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the governmentwide "Apply" portal. Applicants are instructed to locate and download the correct application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning applicants should search for 84.382 rather than 84.382B. This detail matters because the Grants.gov search function may not return results when the letter suffix is included, even though the official program identification includes it.
