Federal Grant Award Summary

Grambling State University received a $1.22 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The award supports institutional management, fiscal stability, academic quality, and student services and outcomes through the Strengthening Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Institutional Aid Programs initiative. As a designated HBCU, Grambling State University will utilize this funding to strengthen its institutional operations and fiscal management while advancing academic quality and student support services.

Under this grant, the university will implement activities designed to enhance institutional capacity and support student success across its campus. The funding enables Grambling State University to pursue institutional development initiatives, including management improvements, fiscal operations strengthening, and academic quality enhancements consistent with the statutory formula-based allocation approach of the Strengthening HBCUs program. These efforts align with the federal objective to assist eligible minority-serving institutions in building endowments and expanding educational opportunities for underrepresented student populations.
