Alabama State University has received a three-year, $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, to help combat violence against women.

University officials announced during a press conference today that the grant will fund expanded services and programs to target and eliminate physical, emotional, economic and sexual abuse against women.

The grant also will allow ASU to provide programs for students, as well as additional training for ASU counselors, police officers, and health care providers. Funds from the grant will be used to facilitate partnerships with community programs, including the Montgomery District Attorney’s Office and the One Place Family Justice Center.

ASU can reapply for the grant every three years.
