The Institutional Development and Undergraduate Education Service (IDUES) administers programs funded under Title III, Title V, the Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program, and the programs under Part J of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act (CCRAA) of 2007.
The Aid for Institutional Development programs (commonly referred to as the Title III programs) support improvements in educational quality, management and financial stability at qualifying postsecondary institutions. Funding is focused on institutions that enroll large proportions of minority and financially disadvantaged students with low per-student expenditures. The programs provide financial assistance to help institutions solve problems that threaten their ability to survive, to improve their management and fiscal operations, and to build endowments.
From its inception, one of the primary missions of the Title III programs has been to support the nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The Title III programs have been expanded to support American Indian Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. The Title III program also includes the Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program.
The Title V, Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program, strengthens institutions serving Hispanic and other low-income students.
The Robert C. Byrd Honors Scholarship Program is the undergraduate incentive program administered by IDUES. Other undergraduate programs administered by this office have not received new funds for additional competitions or have been placed in closeout status.
The programs under Part J of the College Cost Reduction and Access Act (CCRAA) of 2007 include those for strengthening historically black colleges and universities and other minority-serving institutions.
