No smack but.....

Are you sure these other HBCU's don't need it more than Grambling? Have you been to these HBCUs to understand what's in their community? Texas Southern could use the money but those selected were chosen for a reason over Texas Southern and Grambling.
 
I know our president has been in Washington lobbying to get our school more money for various projects he will be trying to implement. This may be the beginning of awarded grants for our university.

No one is denying whether or not Grambling could use the funds or not. The question is whether they applied for the grant. Furthermore, the money is not for the beautification of the campus itself. The $$$ are for the improving the community around the campus.
 
This is really good to see, glad to see someone with power is thinking about HBCU's, hopefully this type of effort will be continued.
