Description
This grant program, administered by the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE), provides funding to Ohio institutions of higher education to enhance the safety and security of institutionally sanctioned student organizations at increased risk of violent crime, terror attacks, hate crimes, or harassment.

The grant prioritizes targeted security enhancements and programmatic initiatives that directly support the safety needs of at-risk student groups, rather than general campus-wide security improvements.
