History
The College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 established federal funds for Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), including AANAPISIs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). During the reauthorization of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) in 2008, AANAPISIs were authorized, with specific eligibility and use requirements codified in 2009 into Title III, Parts A and F of the HEA. These acts established a limited pool of federal funds for which eligible institutions could apply with the specific intent of increasing their ability to serve Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AAPI) students.

- AANAPISIs are federally funded under Title III, Parts A and F of the HEA.
