AUSTIN, Texas — Through countless discussions with SSI sister site Campus Safety, school and college leaders have shared their struggles of writing winning grant applications as many campuses do not have dedicated grant writers.
Applying for grants is extremely time-consuming and involves multiple stages, including research, proposal writing and administrative tasks.
To relieve some of this burden, the 2025 Campus Safety Conference, scheduled for July 21-23 in Austin, Texas, has added one-on-one grant consultations. If you have a project you are working on, questions about where to start, or need help navigating an open process, representatives from the Grants Office, LLC will provide free 20-minute consultations to a limited number of attendees.

During these 20-minute discussions, grant experts will speak with attendees about their grant writing challenges and offer support and resources to simplify the application process and improve grant writing abilities. Consults will occur during the following dates/times:
