Established in 2007, Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) have worked to improve the availability and quality of higher education for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) college students across the United States. Through culturally-relevant curriculum and services, AANAPISIs promote and strengthen APIDA student engagement and civic participation while increasing their academic achievement and success. As the fastest growing population in the nation, APIDAs are expected to attend college in greater numbers, with the likelihood of enrolling at an AANAPISI. Thus, greater attention towards AANAPISIs is necessary to ensure that equitable access and educational opportunity exists for APIDA college students. Toward that effort, the purpose of this brief is to provide the most current data on AANAPISIs, with specific attention towards federal funding, institutional and student characteristics, and student success initiatives. Additionally, recommendations and implications are offered for policy, practice, and research, in order to improve the operations and delivery of AANAPISIs.
