We are proud to announce that Palo Alto University (PAU) has met the criteria as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) by the U.S. Department of Education. This designation will allow PAU to apply for grants that may fund training, programs, and infrastructures that support Latinx students, such as educational materials, academic tutoring and counseling, endowments and scholarships, faculty and administrative development, distance learning academic instruction, and renovation of instructional facilities.

I chose Palo Alto University (PAU) because PAU was convenient for my situation- I could stay at home and continue my education. I transferred from De Anza Community College, so I was pretty familiar with the campus. Some of the faculty at De Anza taught some PAU courses, so I had a network established already.
