The Women’s Campus Safety Grant Committee is accepting applications for funding for projects to promote safety for women on campus. Projects must be completed and invoices paid by March 31, 2016. The committee encourages creative, innovative proposals from members of the university community, including individuals or groups, faculty, staff, and students organizations.

• Public education (e.g., workshops, flyers);
• Activity support (e.g., T-shirts/jackets for campus-walk programs, resource materials, programs).
