Campus Consortium Stands by the Higher Education Community
Releases $930,000 in Technology Grants to HBCUs for Cloud-based Cybersecurity Solutions

Campus Consortium has awarded $930,000 in Technology Grants for cloud-based cybersecurity solutions to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Awarded institutions include Meharry Medical College, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, Talladega College, and Alabama State University.

“We strive at creating an environment of academic excellence,” said Dr. Carmen J. Walters, President of Tougaloo College. “The Single Sign-On and Smart Password Manager Grant enables us to streamline identity and access management across our institution. The grant supports our original goal of having an all-in-one solution that provides one-click, secure access to all of our applications; reduces our help desk call volumes on access and password reset-related issues; centralizes the management of our users’ identities; and virtualizes our entire new student and staff on-boarding processes especially as we are all now at home. We received the grant on January 31st, 2020, kicked off our projects on March 3rd and are looking at launching our new platform by May.”
