Abstract

A federal Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution
(AANAPISI; otherwise known as AAPI-serving institution) funding helps an institution to build capacity and target their services that are pivotal toward supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) and low-income students. This qualitative case study aimed to better understand the educational experiences and outcomes of both AAPIs (target racial group) and non-AAPIs (those beyond the target racial group) as a result of participating in an AANAPISI grant-funded program. The findings demonstrate how the grant developed educational pivotal moments (Espinoza, 2011) for underserved students from diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds by serving their needs and shaping their educational and career trajectories.
