Alabama
Auburn University (designated as land grant college in 1872)
Alabama A&M University
Tuskegee University
Though Alabama A&M is Alabama's official 1890 Morrill Act institution, Tuskegee Institute's mission is so similar to those of the 1890 institutions that it is almost universally regarded as one of them. Tuskegee is a land-grant member of APLU, as are Alabama A&M and Auburn. However, only Alabama A&M and Auburn formally participate in the now-combined Alabama Cooperative Extension System, with Tuskegee listed as a "cooperating partner" in ACES. Tuskegee is also explicitly granted the same status as the 1890 land-grant institutions in a number of Federal laws.)
Tuskegee University (formerly Tuskegee Institute), is a largely privately funded institution in Alabama, which because of its unique history, functions as a de facto land-grant university and has received Smith-Lever Act funds since 1972 to operate its own Cooperative Extension program.
