Hispanic-Serving Institution

What It Means to Be a Hispanic Serving Institution at Texas State

At Texas State University, being a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) is more than a federal designation—it helps shape how we plan, how we grow, and how we support all of our students.

As part of our role as an HSI, we:

Pursue federal funding opportunities that strengthen academic programs, enhance student support services, and build long-term institutional capacity.

Develop initiatives focused on retention, degree completion, and post-graduation readiness with benefits that extend to the entire student body.

Align our strategies and investments to reflect the needs of the students we serve, while maintaining a commitment to access, achievement, and opportunity for all.

This work is embedded in our university and reflects our broader mission to create an environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
