SPC Seeks $50K Home Depot ‘Retool Your School’ Prize

St. Philip’s 大学 has set sight on the annual “Retool Your School” campus-improvement grant program 和 is seeking the support of alumni, 学生, 工作人员, 教师, 和 the 圣安东尼奥 community to bolster voting. The social media-driven grant competition, sponsored by Home Depot, Inc., relies on a combination of online voting 和 social media posting to determine its winners. The 70 HBCUs eligible to compete in this year’s competition will be placed into one of three clusters based on their enrollment—St. Philip’s 大学 will compete in Cluster 1.

The Home Depot “Retool Your School” program strives to give back to the nation’s Historically Black 大学 和 Universities (HBCUs) that have generously provided their communities with a strong foundation, 一个新的目标, 和 a distinctive character. 

Voting kicked-off on Monday, 2月 15th, 和 extends through Monday, March 15th. Grants are awarded based on a total popular vote that combines unlimited daily online voting at www.retoolyourschool.com/vote 和 social media “voting” that counts 推特 和 Instagram posts that include the hashtag # SPC_RYS21. For posts on social media to count, the user’s account must be public. There is no limit to the number of times the hashtag can be used in a day or the number of times one can vote online. To vote online, click on Cluster 1, search for SPC's logo, 和 select “Vote Now”.
