Minority Serving Institutions

The S&T  Directorate has developed significant engagements with Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs).  University Programs strongly supports the participation of MSIs in the Centers of Excellence Program as partners and as lead institutions.

In March 2008, the Office of University Programs announced the establishment of five new Centers. Eleven schools were named co-leads for these new COEs, five of the schools are MSIs from around the country. The eight other COEs have long-standing partnerships with numerous MSIs.

Goal of MSI Programs

Help ensure that the face of America is reflected in the future Homeland Security science and technology work force.

Objectives

- Develop HS-STEM* capacity at interested MSIs

- Leverage existing HS-STEM capabilities at MSIs

- Provide Scholarships and Fellowships to MSIs for homeland security students

- Provide homeland security career pathways to MSI students

Current MSIs associated with the various COEs are (lead institutions are in bold):
