Delaware State University has been announced as a finalist in The Home Depot’s 2013 Retool Your School campus improvement grant program.
Designed to reinvigorate Historically Black Colleges & Universities, finalists are competing for $225,000 in grants for on- campus improvements and are now asking their communities and the public to help them win.
Until April 15, supporters can visit www.retoolyourschool.com to vote for their favorite school and sustainable campus improvement project. The Home Depot will announce the winners on May 3.
“This is a great opportunity for our community to support DSU without spending a dime,” said DSU President Harry L. Williams. “As you take the time to go online and cast a vote in support of DSU, you will increase our chances to be awarded significant grant money to make sustainable improvements to our campus.”
The winning schools will be determined based on a combination of online votes and the judges’ evaluations of each school proposed project that has been submitted for the competition.
If DSU wins one of the 12 grants to be awarded, the university will use the money to upgrade its Greek Fraternity/ Sorority Plot and do window upgrades to several of its buildings.
