Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions program (CFDA 84.031W) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen colleges and universities that serve Native Hawaiian students. Authorized under section 317 of the Higher Education Act (HEA), the program funds projects that help eligible institutions improve and expand their capacity to serve Native Hawaiians, with an overall emphasis on building institutional strength and improving educational outcomes for the students these schools are meant to support. In practical terms, the grants are intended to help institutions enhance what they can offer students academically and administratively, so they are better equipped to meet the needs of Native Hawaiian communities over time.
This opportunity was posted on March 30, 2012, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for submitting applications of April 30, 2012. The program anticipated making about 21 awards, and the estimated total funding available across awards was $17,360,518. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide a specific non-federal match to be eligible for an award.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education that meet the statutory definition of an eligible institution under the ANNH programs (Title III, Part A of the HEA). A key program-specific requirement highlighted in the synopsis is that, at the time of application, a Native Hawaiian Serving Institution must have an undergraduate enrollment that is at least 10 percent Native Hawaiian. Because the synopsis references additional statutory requirements in section 312(b) of the HEA, applicants would need to consult the official Federal Register notice and the HEA provisions to confirm that they satisfy all eligibility conditions beyond the enrollment threshold.
Applications for this program had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the Governmentwide "Apply" process. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching for CFDA 84.031 (without the "W" suffix) in Grants.gov.
