In 1988, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Preservation grant program was established to document, preserve, and stabilize historic structures on HBCU campuses.
Historic resources on campuses of accredited 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 are eligible for this program.
Projects must meet major program selection criteria and all work must follow 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.
