To What Extent Are Title V Grants and Educational Expenditures Associated With Educational Attainment of Latinxs at Hispanic-Serving Institutions?

Abstract

Employing the institutional action framework, this study finds that Title V grants and expenditures in academic support and student services at 4-year Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) are positively associated with educational attainment of Latinxs. Future research should investigate HSIs expenditures in instruction and their association with academic achievement. HSIs must strengthen their advocacy for Latinx students and pressure policy leaders for continued funding to reinforce their role in the educational attainment of Latinxs.
