Healthy Incentive Grants: School Districts

The TSET Healthy Incentive Grant for Schools provides up to $80,000 to help Oklahoma public school districts adopt health-promoting policies and complete projects that support tobacco-free environments, nutrition, physical activity and employee wellness.

Funding is available for:

• Districts with 2,000 students or fewer, up to $50,000
• Districts with 2,001 students or more, up to $80,000

District applications are open Sept. 9 through Oct. 8, 2026. Individual school sites are not eligible during this application period. School sites may apply in a future application period only after their district has received a grant.

Matching funds are not required. Awards are made on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to available funding. Projects must be completed within one year of TSET Board approval.

The funding parameters document will be posted soon. It will outline eligibility, available funding, project requirements and allowable activities to help school districts prepare before applications open Sept. 9, 2026.

School districts can start preparing now by reviewing and updating their wellness and tobacco-free campus policies. Two free Oklahoma-specific policy builders in the Healthier Generation Action Center walk district teams through the process and help create policy documents aligned with Oklahoma’s sample policies.

The one-page guide explains how to create an account, join your district’s organization and access the Oklahoma School District Wellness Policy Builder and the Oklahoma 24/7 Tobacco-, Smoke-, and Vape-Free Campus Policy Builder.

When the next application period opens, review the current TSET Healthy Incentive Grant Resource Guide for complete application and policy requirements.

Applications must be submitted through the TSET Funding Portal. Watch the videos below for step-by-step instructions on creating an account and accessing the portal.

TSET has a public Q&A process to allow equal information about funding opportunities to be shared with applicants. Questions about this funding opportunity must be submitted in writing via the HIG Q&A webform above.

When posing questions, every effort should be made to be concise and include the page number and section references, when possible. It is the applicant’s responsibility to check the TSET website for answers to submitted questions.

For Healthy Incentive Grants, TSET will answer questions continuously throughout the year. Answers will be posted below.
