Administered by the National Park Service, approximately $11 million is available to fund an estimated 23 projects ranging from $50,000 to $750,000 each for the repair of historic structures listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Eligible applicants are accredited HBCU institutions and projects must involve properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

Awards will support work conducted at and benefitting the eligible properties of accredited HBCU institution applicants located within the United States and its territories.

Synopsis

In 1988, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Preservation grant program was established to document, preserve, and stabilize historic structures on HBCU campuses. The HBCU grant program exists to repair historic structures on campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places either individually or as contributing to a National Register or National Historic Landmark historic district. Projects must meet major program selection criteria and all work must meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation. Projects may also fund survey, nomination, and preservation planning for historic HBCU campuses.
