Advice for Employers and Recruiters

List of AANAPISIs

For decades, employers trying to hire more diverse college students have been traveling to and otherwise targeting those enrolled in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Some, but far from all, have also included in their recruitment efforts traveling to or otherwise recruiting students the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs). Some employers who advertise their part-time, seasonal, internship, or entry-level jobs with College Recruiter will have us deliver a targeted email campaign, for example, to students of the AANAPISIs.

According to the AANAPISI website,

The AANAPISI program, one of eight federally designated Minority Serving Institution (MSI) programs, was established by Congress in 2007 as part of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. It was expanded in 2008 under the Higher Education Opportunity Act. 

The AANAPISI program provides grants and related assistance to AANAPISIs to enable such institutions to improve and expand their capacity to serve Asian Americans and Native American Pacific Islanders and low-income individuals.

To qualify for an AANAPISI grant, an institution must have at the time of application, an enrollment of undergraduate students that is at least ten percent Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander students. At least 50% of an applicant institution’s degree-seeking students must receive financial assistance under one or more of the following programs: the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS), or the Federal Perkins Loan. Institutions must first apply for designation of eligibility and be deemed eligible to compete for an AANAPISI grant. Institutions may direct grants toward construction or renovation of instructional facilities, purchase of educational materials, development of faculty and curriculum, and support of student services.

There are currently 38 schools receiving grants under the AANAPISI program plus several hundred additional schools which are eligible but are not receiving grants. Employers who want to increase the number of Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander students they recruit should target those from all of the schools.

The 38 grantee schools are:
