Don’t forget to vote for “Lincoln University of Pennsylvania” (not “Lincoln University” of Missouri) and help defend our reigning title in The Home Depot Retool Your School HBCU Campus Improvement Program. Last year, Lincoln was awarded the $50,000 Grand Prize Tier I Grant, which covered restoration costs for the porch and exterior of Alumni House. If successful, the new effort will help to transform the new African Art Museum with new, energy efficient windows and renovations to its porch this year.
