Relationship Between the Title III, Part A Programs and the Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program (HSI) Note 1: A grantee under the HSI program, which is authorized under Title V of the HEA, may not receive a grant under any HEA, Title III, Part A program, including the Alaska Native-Serving and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions Programs (ANNH). Further, a current HSI program grantee may not give up its HSI grant in order to receive a grant under any Title III, Part A program. Note 2: An eligible HSI that does not fall within the limitation described in Note 1 (i.e., is not a current grantee under the HSI program) may apply for a FY 2010 grant under all Title III, Part A programs for which it is eligible, as well as receive consideration for a grant under the HSI program. However, a successful applicant may receive only one grant. Note 3: An eligible IHE that submits more than one application may only be awarded one individual development grant or one cooperative arrangement development grant in a fiscal year. Furthermore, we will not award a second cooperative arrangement development grant to an otherwise eligible IHE for the same award year as the IHE&apos;s existing cooperative arrangement development grant award. Note 4: The Department will make five-year awards for individual development grants, five-year awards for cooperative arrangement development grants, and two-year renovation grants in rank order, from separate funding slates, according to the average score received from a panel of three readers.
