Discretionary awards are budgeted over five-year increments of the entire amount awarded to an Institution of Higher Education [IHE].

An Individual Development grant is made to support an IHE that is eligible to receive a grant under this program.

A Cooperative Arrangement Development grant is made to an eligible institution which has a formal agreement to carry out allowable activities with other institution(s) of higher education.

The lead institution of a Cooperative Arrangement Developmentgrant must meet all eligibility requirements of the HSI program. The Partnering IHEs do not have to meet the eligibility requirements.
