In 1988, the National Park Service established the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Preservation grant program to document, preserve, and stabilize structures on HBCU campuses.
The HBCU grant program exists to repair historic structures on campuses of Historically Black Colleges
and Universities that are listed 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.
