Campus Security Support Grants

October 16, 2025

The Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) has launched a new request for proposals for the Campus Security Support Grant, available through SB 94, for registered student organizations.  Proposals are due by noon on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025. Student organizations interested in applying for this grant can find additional information at the ODHE RFP website. 

Through the Campus Security Support Program Grant, ODHE seeks proposals from institutionally sanctioned student organizations at Ohio colleges and universities who are affiliated with communities that are at risk for increased threats of violent crime, terror attacks, hate crimes, or harassment to enhance security measures and increase student safety.

A virtual ODHE information session with online registration will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 21, at 10 a.m.

The Chancellor of Higher Education will provide information to interested parties and provide assistance to potential applicants by responding to questions submitted via e-mail to: ODHEsafetygrants@highered.ohio.gov by the deadline.

The ODHE expects to notify organizations that will receive funding by Dec. 19.
