The National Park Service awarded a $596,678 Project Grant to Selma University under the Preservation of Historic Structures on the Campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) program (CFDA 15.932). The grant will fund repairs and upgrades to Dinkins Memorial Hall at Selma University. Specifically, the grant will support replacement of the building's roof as well as upgrades to its HVAC and electrical systems. Dinkins Memorial Hall, built in 1921, contributes to the proposed Selma University Historic District and houses administrative offices, meeting spaces, classrooms, and a 400-seat tabernacle. The grant represents 96% of total project costs, with Selma University providing the remaining $96,678 in non-federal matching funds. Work is expected to be completed by September 2025.
