Home Depot's "Retool Your School" Program - Retool Your School with Campus Improvement Grants from The Home Depot

With the RETOOL YOUR SCHOOL program, The Home Depot is taking the opportunity to give something back to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that have given so much. What could be more worthwhile than helping to preserve and improve some of America's most historic campuses and landmarks?

Retool Your School is a campus improvement grant program supported by The Home Depot that is designed to help HBCUs make enduring improvements to their campus and facilities.

The eleven grants will be awarded based on a ratio of consumer voting and advisory board panel selection. The application with the highest score will be awarded with the "Major" campus improvement grant ($50,000 level funding); ten (10) subsequent applications will be awarded with "Minor" campus improvement grants ($10,000 level funding).

The grant money will go towards a school improvement project that will have an enduring impact on the lives of students, faculty and alumni for generations to come.
