About this opportunity
The Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education is seeking grant applications for the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) Program, designed to improve and expand institutional capacity to serve Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander students. Eligible applicants must be accredited institutions legally authorized to operate as junior/community colleges or award bachelor's degrees, with at least 10% Asian American or Native American Pacific Islander enrollment. The program aims to support institutions in planning, developing, or implementing activities that strengthen student success services. Applications will be evaluated based on their ability to propose effective strategies for institutional improvement, with two invitational priorities: expanding distance education and workforce-based options, and advancing artificial intelligence in educational pedagogical approaches. The application deadline is August 13, 2025, with an intergovernmental review deadline of September 12, 2025.
The grant opportunity will award a total of $5,400,000, with two distinct grant types: Individual Development Grants ranging from $400,000-$500,000 per year (estimated 10 awards) and Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants ranging from $500,000-$600,000 per year (estimated 2 awards). The project period can extend up to 60 months, providing institutions substantial time to implement comprehensive improvement strategies. Grant recipients will be selected through a competitive process that considers the potential impact on student success and institutional capacity, with a focus on serving Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander student populations across various higher education institutions nationwide.
