The Retool Your School Program awards grants to HBCUs to support their efforts to modernize and improve their campuses. The program has helped HBCUs across the country fund campus improvement projects such as modernized classrooms, enhanced landscaping and upgraded technology. LU is hoping to secure a portion of the grant money to help fund campus projects it has identified that could benefit from renovations.

The competition is expected to be fierce, with many HBCUs vying for a share of the grant money. However, with the support of the alumni, students, staff, faculty and community, LU is confident they can win and bring much-needed improvements to the campus.
