Background Information As some of you know, the College has applied for two grants that are funded by Home Depot targeted solely for HBCUs. One grant is for $50,000 and ten grants valued at $10,000 will be awarded. Our $50,000 grant proposal is targeted to completely renovate the Student Government Building. Our $10,000 grant proposal is targeted to upgrade Derricotte House, which currently serves as the honors dorm. The POLISH THE JEWEL committee has agreed to supply some of the sweat equity that will be needed to finish the project if either grant is won by Talladega.
A requirement to receiving the funds is to have 70% of the project workers be volunteers from the receiving institution. Home Depot will supply 30% of the volunteers. If the College is the recipient of either grant, the work must be completed by the end of this year. WE WILL NEED ALL OF YOUR ASSISTANCEto support executing the grant projects. Hopefully, with your vote, Talladega will be awarded one of the grants. Hopefully, with your vote, we will have Polish the Jewel Part Two this year. All for the Alpha Lyrae Vega of them All!
