L. 103-382; 7 U.S.C. 301 note)); any Hispanic-Serving Institution (as defined in section 316(b) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1059c(b)); and any college/ university eligible to receive funds under the Act of August 30, 1890 (7 U.S.C. 321 et seq.), including Tuskegee University, in support of research, educational, technical, and scientific activities or for related programs.
