Quick View Campus Security Support Program Grant

Summary

To support Ohio institutions of higher education as they work to foster a safe and respectful education environment, the Ohio Department of Higher Education (“ODHE”), per Section 381.220 of Amended Substitute House Bill 96 of the 136^th General Assembly, was charged with developing the guidelines and procedures to apply for funding through the Campus Security Support Program Grant. 

This round of the Campus Security Support Program Grant differs from previous rounds in that proposals will be solicited directly from institutions of higher education rather than from institutionally sanctioned organizations.

Institutions of higher education will apply for lump-sum awards as outlined in this RFP. If awarded, they will be responsible for managing and allocating grant funds to institutionally sanctioned organizations on their campuses in accordance with ODHE guidelines.

Proposals received should outline how the institution will use the awarded funds to support student organizations at risk for increased threats of violent crime, terror attacks, hate crimes, or harassment. The purpose of the funding is to provide institutionally-sanctioned student organizations with the means to prevent or mitigate the risk of violent crime through enhance security measures and increase student safety.
