Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00071
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Grant Program is a National Park Service (NPS) preservation funding opportunity within the U.S. Department of the Interior that was created to help HBCUs protect and rehabilitate historically significant campus resources. Established in 1988, the program focuses on documenting, preserving, and stabilizing important historic structures located on HBCU campuses. In practical terms, the grant is meant to support repair work that keeps these buildings standing, usable, and historically intact, while also encouraging accurate documentation of their significance and condition.
A key requirement is that the building or structure being assisted must have recognized historic status through the National Register of Historic Places. Eligibility is limited to projects involving structures that are either individually listed on the National Register or contribute to a campus historic district that is listed on the National Register. Because the program is aimed specifically at preservation of historic resources, proposed work is not simply general renovation or modernization; it must be preservation-oriented and aligned with established federal preservation standards.
All funded work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation, which are the federal benchmarks used to ensure that repairs and rehabilitation protect the historic character of a property. This typically means repairs should preserve original materials and features when feasible, replacement work should match historic materials and design, and any alterations should be compatible and not destroy defining historic elements. Projects are also expected to satisfy major program selection criteria identified by the NPS, meaning applicants must clearly demonstrate the historic significance of the resource, the urgency and appropriateness of the proposed preservation work, and the likelihood that the project can be completed successfully within the program's expectations.
The opportunity identified as Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00071 is categorized as a mandatory grant, with activities falling under the Humanities (Cultural Affairs) and related preservation work. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with additional eligibility details referenced by the agency. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the program anticipated making about 12 awards under this announcement. For this specific cycle, the National Park Service listed an application deadline of May 1, 2018, with submissions due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time.
Overall, the HBCU Grant Program is designed to help institutions safeguard historic campus buildings that carry cultural, architectural, and educational importance, ensuring that rehabilitation and stabilization efforts follow nationally recognized preservation practices and that historically significant places connected to HBCU history are maintained for future generations.Apply for P18AS00071
