Alabama A&M University is excited to join the 2023 Home Depot Retool Your School Competition. According to The Home Depot, the program has helped HBCUs by providing over $5.2 million in grants to make campus improvements since 2009.

This year’s top prize is $150,000, doubling the top award from 2022. AAMU’s 2023 projects include improvements and painting at Normal Hills, painting the retainer wall under the bridge over Meridian Street and improvements to the playground at the Child Development Center.

Your votes helped AAMU win the competition last year and $75,000 to improve AAMU’s historic Bell Tower.
